Yes, it will hurt. Honda designed and built the engine and they recommend SAE 5w30 oil. So there is your answer. Use what Honda recommends and nothing else. To do otherwise would be foolish.
I had mine replaced (2004 Accord V6) at a Honda dealer and the total was $3,500. Honda paid $2,500 of this even though it was out of warranty. Call Honda, as it does not hurt to ask.
More than likely your valve guides are going bad. They are fairly pricey to get replaced. If its not smoking to bad and you are not burning a lot of oil it won't really hurt anything.
usally the proper oil will be listed in the manual or on the oil cap. if it has alot of miles uses 10-30 if it has a ton of miles 10 40 wont hurt, if miles are still low and egine is well kep, and doesnt leak or burn oil 5 30 may be ok
Amazing that Honda does not list the gap anywhere, I know I own a 2004 Accord. The gap is .044 on both the 4 cylinder and V6. Most plugs you buy today are laser gapped at the factory, but it doesn't hurt to check them. Remember you do not need to replace the plugs until you are at 105,000 miles.
Sort of- not to the car but you will loose the Anti-lock braking system (abs) which could make the car more dangerous to drive.
Swap it out with a new one and see if it helps. Its not hard. Its just below the intake on top of the transmission, close to the firewall. Don't change it with the motor hot; it will hurt.

Honda is very adamant that you do NOT put premium fuel in their fine automobiles. They claim you will screw something up if you do. They're absolutely right...you will screw up your bank balance if you do. Whether it will hurt the car or not is another story--I think it won't damage the car, but you don't need the added octane so don't waste the money on it.
You can, but I would not recommended. Due to it's not a new truck and high mileage. You can put 10W30 or 10W40 instead. I think the 5W30 may hurt your engine.
It shouldn't hurt anything until you get into the colder months. But, 5w30 is the recommended oil for that car. 10w30 is also a suitable oil down to 0*F.
Any antifreeze that will not hurt aluminum.
You can use any oil for a short period of time but if you are considering changing the oil out completely with 10w40 you might want to reconsider because that is like going from water to molasses. It will damage your engine if you drive too long with it. 10w40 won't hurt anything at all. It certainly isn't like running molasses. Most auto manufacturers now recommend 5w30. But depending on your regional temps 10w40 is more than safe enough. If it gets extremely cold in the winter try to stick with 5w30. During summer months, or if you are located in the south the 10w40 won't harm a thing. As engines age and the clearances become more "loose" changing to a SLIGHTLY thicker oil can improve your oil pressure and buy you some time before a rebuild.
