mea culpa Went to change the oil yesterday on both my wife's '04 Ody and my '05 Civic DX, and low and behold my oil stash (non-DS forumla Havoline 5w-20) was gone. I thought for sure I had a few cases left... Worse yet, my stash of Filtech OEM oil filters had dwindled down to one! I couldn't...

42mpg average over 49,9xx miles so far in my 2005 Civic DX w/automatic transmission. Keep your tire pressure up, RPMs & speed down, use light throttle inputs and your 40mpg bogey can be attained in most newer small cars. I've adjusted my driving style quite a bit in the last few years. I...

like RI_RS4, my sample was taken with the engine hot after a ~70 mile highway trip. I doubt there was much settling in the sump in the 10-15 minutes it took me to gather my sampling equipment. Using chefwong's recent UOA as a case in point is a stretch, too many variables to my untrained eye...
