SAE (Society of Automotive Engineering) 20W is a quality (viscosity) of oil. SAE J300 has established eleven viscosity grades, of which six are considered Winter-grades and given a W designation. The 11 viscosity grades are 0W, 5W, 10W, 15W, 20W, 25W, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60. These numbers are often referred to as the 'weight' of a motor oil. The lower the viscosity grade, the lower the temperature the oil can pass the standard test. For example, if an oil passes at the specifications for 10W and 5W, but fails for 0W, then that oil must be labeled as an SAE 5W. That oil cannot be labeled as either 0W or 10W.
5w - 5 = 8w - 25 -5 + 25 = 8w - 5w 20 = 3w 6 2/3 = w
5*20/10 = 100/10 = 10
9x - 5w = 4
d = 5t+3.14t+5w Simplify: d = 8.14t+5w Subtract 5w from both sides of the equation: d-5w = 8.14t Divide all terms by 8.14: t = (d-5w)/8.14
Assuming that the 0W-20 is a full synthetic (which almost all are), then yes. Toyota has approved the use of 0W-20 in situations where 5W-20 is specified.
Yes. Check the cap to make sure what oil to put in it. 5w/30, 5w/20 or 0w/20 synthetic. Penzoil Platinum Sythethic is best for the newer Lexus that require 0w/20.
5w-20 or 0w-20 0w-20 would be better for cold temps but 5w-20 works just fine overall
The lower the first number the better (for cold). If your vehicle uses 5W-30 oil normally you could go to 0W-30 for the winter months. Typically the oil cap on your car will say on it what oil to use. Make sure you use an oil with the same second number as recommended but the first number can always be a lower number. Some cars run with 5W-30 and some with 5W-20. The one with 5W-20 can also use 0W-20. For cold weather it is best to use the "0W" 20 or 30 because of the cold starts. The 0W helps the oil flow a little easier at cold start ups. Also using a full synthetic is very helpful too in cold weather starts. So, go with a full synthetic "0W" oil in winter. Both Mobil1 and Valvoline make good full synthetinc 0W-30 and 0W- 20. I use those brands in my vehicles in the winter.

5w-20Correct answer:5W-30, or 10W-30. Never use 5W-20 in a Honda.The above answer is only partially correct. The correct weight that Honda recommends for the 1993 Honda Accord is SAE 5w-30. Starting in 2001 Honda switched to SAE 5w-20, and starting in 2011 they changed it to SAE 0w-20. Use exactly what Honda recommends for you 1993 which is SAE 5w-30.

I personally would buy M1 0w-40 based on price/quality and availability. You can get it in most major stores. If budget is tight go with Totella T6 5w-40.
No it is OK to go thiner like 0w-20 if there was but not thicker, the oil wont get into tight spots.
