Honda civic oil change

Honda civic oil change?—By Ken S
I have a 2004 civic that requires 5-20 oil. They put in 10w30. When I asked about this i was told this was ok during the winter months. Is this true? Thank you

Best Answer —By sunny
NO!
In the cold is it a much thicker oil, and you can have problems when first starting the vehicle up.
The clearances in the motor are not designed for 10W30.
I have first hand seen a motor blow up from too thick of oil in the winter [keep in mind I live in Canada, I'm not sure how cold your winters are.]
