Looks good for 5,000. Just starting to thin a little.

Think I would go up to Academy and get some fresh TCW-3 Quicksilver. Them outboards can be expensive to fix.

I don't think so. Your cat probably would not like the shave and it might result in more poison (that's what it is) uptake into you cat. Jmo

Your engine seems to "like" the Castrol. Have you tried a 30 weight? It's pretty cold up there for a 40 weight.

I thought "Hi Mileage " oils, said to be for over 75,000 miles, had additional seal swelling additives.

I think the High Mileage variety has seal swellers and the EP does not. .02

Looks good. Extended Performance is a different product than High Mileage. I think you want the M1 Extended Performance oil.

Unfortunate. Ny is a community property state.

Different strokes. I feel the honda cvt lugs the engine. I prefer a "real" auto trans with individual speeds and shifting. Example Camry. Jmo

Save the Redline for summer. Run the 0w for cold weather. Best starting place for vis increase is the oil spec in the manual and/or the oil cap. .02

Right! The oil is thickening so maybe it's getting close to done. Starts at about 8.6 now it's 9.0.

Great Actor. RIP.

Keep what you got! Get it professionally detailed, tires rotated and rebalanced ,and you'll feel better about keeping it

Different strokes. I think the best "fix" is the 3,000 mile oil change you are doing. The wear numbers look good and the exit vis is ok. Perhaps, drive it more easily if you want it to last. jmo

Agree for the op's app the 40 weight worked great. I was just observing that the 11.05 vis after 4700 miles was a little thick for what I presumed to be a 0w-20 oil spec.
