5W20 or 5W30

prolly not, except that it'll take longer to circulate the oil on those cold morning starts, so the cam bearings will see much higher wear than usual.
but what's the big deal man?? you wanna get a quantity discount by buying the same oil for yourself and your old man? way to save a few pennies
Honda went to 5W20 and 0W20 in their cars to improve emissions and fuel economy, but I'm sure oil pumps and seals were reworked for the thinner oil. also 5W30 will raise pressure on all seals, so leaks are more likely.

haha... really??! Honestly, because Mobil is really easy to come by, like Walmart, CT... I say just buy oil as you need it. Unless it's a really rare oil like Mobil Delvac synth or Shell RotellaT synth it's just not worth stockpiling.
But now that CT carries Amsoil I'm switching to that from now on.

to me there are two levels of 'fully' synthetic oils. The 1st, crappier group, Mobil1 leads the way. This crappier group is cheap and readily available on demand.
the second group includes high end synth oils from Redline, Amsoil, Motul, Royal Purlpe, ... and I'm sure I'm forgetting others. Out of these, Amsoil is certainly the most readily available... as for which is the best, it's hard to say cuz they're all sooooo good. But being the most readily available, I say Amsoil is the best

Its a very marginal difference between amsoil and mobil 1. Mobil 1 is not crap, but nor is amsoil. They are both good fully synthetic oils.
I would buy mobil 1 from walmart or crappy tire, but I get amsoil for like $5 dollars a bottle, so I'm not going to spend more on mobil 1. Plus its hard finding 5w20 fully synthetic oil.
