My wifes honda pilot says 5w20 on the cap and i couldnt ever see anyone ever putting oil that thin into a car that isnt some sort of purpose built engine that isnt in a daily driver. we drive them like so, and you will want the thicker/heavier oil to withstand the heat and the poundings.

the 40 weight that everyone uses is because we beat on our cars. Subaru recommends 5w30 because they assume everyone abides by the law and does the speed limit and doesnt give it more than 50% throttle.basically manufacturers think we all drive like grannies.
