One acronym: CAFE. Corporate Average Fuel Economy.
The sooner you all learn how toxic it is in the U.S., the sooner you'll distrust the manufacturers and take vehicle care into your own hands.
Does anyone actually believe transmissions are "sealed and require no maintenance for the lifetime of the unit" still? Or does anyone remember Ford back-spec'ing countless 5W-30 vehicles to 5W-20 back in the early 2000s? CAFE is why. It has absolutely nothing to do with the vehicle's best interest. It's purely politics and money.

I change mine when the reminder goes off, sometimes I let it go over. About 160k miles on 09' Odyssey. Plan to drive it to the wheels falls off.
Since you seem to be asking my opinion, the best blanket recommendation I can give is 5W-30 for anything unless your vehicle specs a XW-40 or higher. And no, I'm not saying 0/5W-20 is bad and will blow up your engine. Countless Ford modular 4.6Ls in taxis and Crown Vics proved that. But could they have gone longer running a XW-30? Maybe.
For example, a 2016 Hyundai Elantra states in the manual "For better fuel economy, it is recommended to use the engine oil of a viscosity grade SAE 5W-20 (API SM / ILSAC GF-4). However, if the engine oil is not available in your country, select the proper engine oil using the engine oil viscosity chart." The chart shows "5W-20/5W-30" for all temps, and 10W-30 for all temps above 0 degrees Fahrenheit. But that cap says 5W-20. Why? They literally said it themselves in the above quotations - "For better fuel economy..."

So all is not bad.

Remember the Aveo? Lmao.
Not necessarily true. I have a Lexus that calls for 5w-30. A few years later they went to 0w-20 with the same engine. I have another Lexus with the same block that uses 0w-20 and a Toyota with the same block that uses 0w-20. Lexus has a vehicle oil compatibility chart. It specifically states that I cannot use 0w-20 in the vehicle that takes 5W-30 and go on to state that it may damage the engine. So your statement is not 100% correct. I believe it depends on other factors such as the oil pump etc.
change it before 5000 or 3500
