Sounds good. It did not do it this morning. It does sound like something is starved for oil when it does it. Usually after sitting for a couple of days.

I forgot to mention.... I found TGMO at Mike Shaw Toyota in Corpus Christi Tx. for $5 a quart. I bought two cases the last time I was there.

Thank you. It does not sound like a major problem and I do not want it to turn into one. Thanks everyone for your help.

Thanks. What does MM and ADB mean?

Thank you.

I realize that in regards to the OLM, but the TGMO oil seems to last longer. The noise I am referring to is internal. Sounds like it comes from inside the valve cover.

Hello, I started using TGMO in my 2011 Honda Accord back in November. I am happy with it over all. It lasts 1500-1800 miles more at 50% according to the Oil Monitoring System than the base Amsoil 0W20. My concern is when the car has sat for a day or two, (which rarely happens) upon start up I...

Nothing wrong with a little gypsy tears...

So based on what has been said here,the TGMO with its moly and ZDDP should display very little wear at 5000 mile intervals, correct? Thanks.

I think driving in the Texas conditions 45,000 miles a year is severe even though it is mostly highway.

I have read on here about the different base stocks used to create a quality synthetic oil. Some are POA's etc. The TGMO uses something different. How many basestocks are used and what are the pros and cons of the different ones? Are POA's the best? I think Amsoil and Mobil 1 are POA, but I am...

Yeah I thought about that. I may try the signature series 0W20 next to compare. When I compared the price for a case it was much more with shipping, etc. I usually change oil every 5K with a tire rotation. I guess with the sig series I could try 10K. I had a really good Honda tech that I trust...

Good article, thanks.

I just recently put TGMO in my 2011 Accord 4 Cyl. It is a little smoother and quieter. It is more noticable in the garage during cold start up. I had the Amsoil XLZ in it. No problems here. 73K on it now.

I just went by a Honda dealership here in south Houston. They want $8.90 per quart for the Honda 0W20 Full Synthetic. I then stopped by a Toyota dealership And got a case of quarts for $75.00 plus tax. Great price I think for such a high grade 0W20. I am sticking with Amsoil filters for now.
