5W may be OK with Honda, as I think Honda builds some of the most
rugged engines made, but don't try 5W in the X-body V6.  I've heard that GM 
will dis-allow warranties for using 5W in the V6.  From the rumors I've
heard, 5W doesn't protect the rod bearings when the engine is cold and
first started, before the oil pressure has a chance to build up, leading
to premature rod failure.  These are just 2nd had rumors and are not
verified.  I'm not going to change to Mobile 1, but only because I got
90,000 on my Phoenix already.  Next car, which I hope to be a new Accord,
I may go the Mobile 1 route.

	BTW, I was at a new Honda dealership about two weeks ago.  The 
salesmen were discussing some new Honda car that they got rumors of.  
Supposedly due out this spring, VERY high performance, and probably not
even carried by all dealers.  Anything rumorts flying elsewhere on the net?
