    Owners manual suggests 5w-20. Some have said this will increase mpg
    slightly, but reduce engine life? any thoughts?

    If the manufacturer suggests it, then do it.

    No, owners manual SPECIFIES 5W-20 oil.

    Do you always take specifications like that as suggestions, to be
    second-guessed by yourself (a trained and experienced auto engineer, I
    presume) and random people on the internet?

    Don't worry. Use it and you will have no problems. Millions of Honda
    owners have gone down that road before you. bob

    I am OK with it if the owner's manual specifies it as it does for my wife's
    Pilot. I become a little concerned when the dealer only offers 5 - 20 for
    my 01 Prelude which specifies 5 - 30. So, I bring my own Mobil 1 5 - 30
    when I have a service appointment.

    Why not find a mechanic that really understands and loves Preludes, and
    let him have your money? bob
