Great call out! I don’t know why anyone would want to use anything other than 0W though.
It isn't the cold issue but more the warm one that is going to cause limp mode.. With increased temps, oil viscosity generally becomes lower meaning it flows better and I would assume drops oil pressure. OTOH, any reasonable oil pump can maintain good pressure no matter what the viscosity or temp and it is only when the oil is really hot and when engine speed is really low like at idle, that pressures should really drop. I am blown away that for its top performance car that an oil temp sensor AND gauge is not available. When oil pressure is low, you are in serious trouble, but when temps are high you can hopefully prevent serious trouble before it is too late. Even my 16 year old Covette has an oil temp gauge.

That's the thing though.... 0w20 is the same weight as 0w40....... However 0w40 is supposed to provide the same protection as a 40 weight oil.

If anyone goes above 0w it's a peace of mind thing I wager.

Following. Looking forward to the app being launched. Any idea if we have to drive into the dealership to get the APK installed or can it done through our phones?

Ya. Since the Log R app is something new for the 2020 for the head unit, I didn't want to do the Honda Hack and screw everything up. Even though I tried to get the browser, this head unit is so damn sloooow.

Not for streaming but when changing to other screen. Also how will this affect the response with the Log R?

this has been covered before. Im sure more people with more information will chime in, but because of ecu/ as well as some other sensors that cannot be read on pre-20, will make it so that Log R will not be available to pre-2020 owners
lol people with 2017 to 2019 think they can just make a 2020 CTR
even the ecu reads the road dampening 10x better

We have August now, and nothing was released :) it seems to me they are waiting till 2021 is out :)
They are going to wait until autocross season is over so that I have no use for it until Spring.

I'll take $1k over some gimmicky app. At what point can we count this as false advertisement and start complaining to Honda?

Huh? How did this cost $1k? You do realize there were many other changes to the 2020, right?

As a '19 owner I have always been curious to see how logR pull off the oil temp and oil pressure in '20s

If thre is no extra sensors, maybe someday hondata/ktuner can replicate the function?
