I have a 2007 4 cyl Accord-I am original owner,change oil religiously with Mobil 1 5W-20 every 6,000 miles.
On cold weather starts (since new) sounds like what I grew up calling "piston slap" and I always thought this meant excessive engine wear.
Dealer says "don't worry about it" but I do. Would changing viscosity help? Any other suggestions?
Thanks for your help!
