Lucky Canadians!!
We don't get the EX-L yet.

The fog lights need the harness run, and the bumper removed (per the
instructions). As soon as I get my EX home, (Tuesday) I am going to
look to see if this is realy neccessary or not.

As for oil, as 5w20 acts like a 5 when cold, and a 20 when hot.
So as long as 20 is not too thin at the upper temperaturs it will be
fine.

The 5W30 will be a bit thicker when hot, but not significantly
thicker when cold, so that should be an acceptable substitute.
the 10W30 will be thicker at both ends. I would not worry about the
30 part, but I would sugest against using a 10W in cold climates when
a 5W is recommended.
First there is the efficiancy part, with the thicker oil wasting more
energy during warm up. Second and more important, the thicker oil
may take more time to distribute itself around the engine during cold
starts. This can increase wear significantly.

Thanks for the feedback....please keep me posted on the fog light
information.

Unless you install a bullbar for the foglights, you definitely have to
take-off the front bumper. Also you need to run the wiring harness for the
foglight power to the dashboard switch which you can get at hondaparts.com.

Step-up rails are just an extra expense which I think, don't matter much in
terms of form or function. My 3 year old kid can climb up mt CRV even
without these.
