That's good to know. I guess the bigger question is what is the long term effect of continually starting and stopping an engine? Say I'm stuck in bumber-to-bumper traffic and have to edge forward a couple of feet for a few miles.

Theoretically, the engine could start and stop 50 times or more. Multiply that by years of operation. This can't be good for an engine, unless of course Honda has already considered this. Could this be why the viscosity of the reccommended oil is so thin?
