Hi,
Is it possible to get engine oil Honda 0w-20 Type 2.0 synthetic in the US?
I found this oil specific for Type R engine, however it seems only available in Europe.

If it is not available , what about Mugen Motul 5w-30?
thanks

I wouldn't run 5w30 in a car that calls for 0w20.
I'm sure Honda has the right oil or something compatible.

Looking at the user manual from Honda UK, there are 2 interesting notes, first related to using only Honda type 2.0 for 0w-20 viscosity, and the second, If Honda oil type 2.0 is not available use 5w-30, 0w-30.
Considering that I would be comfortable not using 0w-20. In fact I would not be comfortable using 0w-20 that is not Honda Type 2.0 oil.
I can´t find the Honda Type 2.0 in the US.
Why would the US user manual have different information for the same engine? I guess it is related to emission regulations.

"Recommended Engine Oil
-Genuine Honda Motor Oil*1
-ACEA A5/B5
*1: If you use 0w-20, you should use "Honda Engine Oil Type 2.0"

If "Honda Engine Oil Type 2.0" is not available, use 5w-30 or 0w-30."

The dealer isn't going to put the wrong oil in.
Honda spent millions of dollars designing the engine to run on 0w20. That 5w30 blurb in the owners manual is for more of an emergency once in a blue moon situation, not an all the time thing.

I found 0w-20 Motul 8100 Power 100% Synthetic - Ester, that should be fine, expensive but fine.
