what weight oil?
I have a '99 Accord 4cyl, with 148k miles, uses about a quart every 3000. I've always assumed I should use 5-30 wt, but a mechanic friend tells me 5-20. What shoiuld I use? fwiw, I use Mobil 1. Thanks!

Honda changed their minds about oil. Retroactively back to 1998 they want you to use 5w-20. So your mechanic is technically right.
Even knowing that I kept using 5w-30 while we owned our 1998 Accord. I think the only reason was fuel economy.

RE: what weight oil?
are you using mobile 1 synthetic or conventional? synthetic oil burns faster than conventional, a quart every 3000 miles isnt exactly an alarming rate, i'm doing good if i can get 300 miles on a quart of oil.
