Use what your manual suggests. They took a fair amount of time
writing it, it seems only logical that you give a little time to
reading it.

I use 5w/20 in mine, as that is what is recommended...

The oil cap on my Honda says 710. I interpret this to mean I need to
use 7W-10 but I an unable to find this weight.

They carry it at Walmart. But you have to turn the bottle upside down to
find it.

Doesn't matter. You don't really need oil in the engine. It's just a
