Keep in mind that I'm also running a modified motor that takes 5w30 from Honda/Acura.

Yeh, our engines are slightly different.   Gay

Granted, I don't have a J but I haven't run anything less than 10w30 in a while. GTX dino oil here.

Like Mike said Nel, you're oil is too thin. Do at least 5w30 dino oil dude.

So running the Honda recommended weight that's on the cap is too thin?

I read through Paul's thread a few years back and determined that synthetic wasn't necessary so I ended up switching to Dino oil.

Basically, yes. Up the weight a hair. That 5w20 recommended by Honda is generally for the first few years/ few thousand miles and grandma driving it in absolutely perfect conditions on country roads. None of us here take it easy and none of us drive in those conditions.

Paul would recommend 10 30. 5 20 is good for fuel economy not longevity

You could go up to 5W30 and use 10W30 in the summer.
