I will take another oil sample after 7500km and let you know what the results are.;)

I never said oil would fix the dilution .I said the air intake would .It changes the fuel trims which will prevent how much fuel gets injected into cylinder,and how much correction the engine has to make to have a perfect A/F mixture.Which also changes how much fuel that gets pass the cylinders...

Im not sure if you're reading this right but iron went down from 22 to 12 which is pretty big difference ( to me atleast) and aluminium went down from 5 to 4 .So that didn't increased it decreased actually.Or i am reading this all wrong... Im not fond on using a higher winter rating so 5w30 is a...

So it's been a while since my first oil analysis .I got my second analysis done .This time did it after 7500km and i used Mobil 1 0w30 ESP LV. Total milage now is 65000Km. Again there is the 4% fuel in there which also dilluted the 30weight down to aprox. a 20weight .After this oil change i...

I eventually went with the Ravenol MTF 2 and have been using it now for aprox 1500km. Shifts nicely and to me it's smoother then with the honda mtf. My owners manual only states honda mtf 3 no other like 0w20 or I would have looked into that. The older honda engines could use 10w30 mineral...

No not at all .I drive lots of highway every day 20min of driving on the highway in the morning and evening as well. This is a common problem on these new 1.5t engines from honda.It's the fuel trims that are too high and in the winter it's even worse .Most people who are tuned don't have those...

The piston skirts are moly coated afaik ,or the oem oil contains moly.

Yeah i thought so the iron of 22 was high .I'm now using 0w30 M1 .I'll maybe get the car tuned that will solve the Fuel problem ,these cars run rich from factory and honda isn't doing anything about it in europe.The USA and China got updates done to solve the problem. I don't drive short...

So i had my first oil analysis done since my warrenty now is over and the car had oil dillution problems in the past. This was the oem 0w20 honda 2.0 motor oil and was in the engine for 10409km .The car has 55000km now . According to the lab guys the wear is normal but the fuel content is high...

I've contacted oelcheck.de and I can use their service and send in my oil samples. They are more affordable ~66euro.

Where do get these oil analysis done? I'm in Belgium and can't find any over here that are reasonable in price.Mobil 1 belgium does it and charges 130euro.

That's why I put a ? Behind it .I'm no expert ,that's why I ask here .

This is from the honda tech forum I dont know If there's any truth in it ... As you can see in the virgin oil analysis there are some differences b/w regualr oil or mtf. honda mtf has more anti-wear additives (zinc, phosphorus) than regular motor oil. GF-4 motor oils cannot have more than...

Yes most likely ,several oem honda sellers also claim that it's 75w80 gl4 spec .

From other members that had virgin mtf 3 analysed they said it was 75w80 gl4 spec transmission oil. The amsoil apparently is 5w30 Motoroil with additives?
