0w20 is a designation of the weight of oil. The 0 means it flows easily at cold tempertures. The 20 means it becomes a 20 weight oil at full operating tempertures. The w stands for winter.
SAE 40 has a higher viscosity.
SAE 40 has a higher viscosity.
society of automotive engineers SAE oil ratings. for example , SAE-20
Im not 100% sure but its a call, Yes 2t oil is SAE 30 since its thicker than ATF(SAE 20).

The 'W' stands for WINTER. It does not stand for weight. What would the oil be weighing? 12oz of 10w-30 weighs the same as 12oz of 5w-20. It is related to the cold temperature viscosity of the product. A multi-viscosity oil, 5W-20 for example, will perform like an SAE 5 product when cold and a SAE 20 product when hot. And as a bit of additional info, oils are not 'weighted' they are graded. SAE grades the oil.. SAE 5, 20, 30..
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.
SAE 10w-30 except in extremely cold climates where SAE 5w-30 is the best.
