Agree with this !!! Just to put your mind at ease op I got the 2017 crv owners manual pdf off Honda uk’s website. Here’s the recommendation for oil weights.

Give valvoline maxlife 5w30 a try and maybe try an engine flush like amsoil or bg epr at your next oil change. Your usage is well below excessive though

Yeah I had an old 91 celica but I sold it 4 years ago. Definitely would not be afraid to run that in there

I didn’t know he accepts oil to test. Would be a great video. Love project farm!!!

Maybe my moms lawnmower not sure 🤔

Just was going through some stuff in my moms house garage while doing her oil change and I found this gem!! sh rated 5 quarts sealed i believe this was in the garage from the previous elderly gentleman who owned the house before my parents. Just figured I would share it with the BITOG forum

Just an update. Not sure if it’s the increase in viscosity or the amsoil flush that freed up my rings but im 1200 miles in and I’m barely 1/4 quart down. Been driving more conservative on the max life 5w30 change so far but had a couple high rpm highway runs and the level is holding up. I’m...

Moms annual oil change: out pp 5w30 with Fram ultra In:Mobil 1 5w30 vanilla with fram tough guard Oci was approximately 8k. Mostly short trips. Gonna run a short 5k run on this change as I usually change around 7 k just to clean things up a bit Car is a Mazda 3 2008 calls for 5w20 but I’ve...

I was thinking about trying redline. What weight are you running?

So an update I’m a little over 2k and have added about 2quarts so Mobil 1 hm has somewhat increased my consumption. Instead of topping up when I got low at the 2k mark i ran the amsoil flush and drained. Oil came out blacker than I’ve seen even after the first draining of that unknown fill after...

2008 Honda Accord ex-l v6 non vcm(6 speed manual) out: Mobil 1 hm 5w20 and Fram ultra (2k oci (ran Amsoil Engine flush before i drained in: Valvoline Maxlife red bottle 5w30 and Fram extra guard. Trying to tackle some oil consumption issues on this car. Plan on running another short oci and...

Definitely wanted to try the EP just wasnt sure if it made sense because ive been running shorter cleaning oci's. I did however read that the EP is significantly more % PAO and ester content so im guessing it would clean better. Im going to give that EP a shot after this 5k run and hit the...

Bought the car back in July 2020. Car has an unknown maintenance history. It is the non VCM variant as it is a 6 speed manual coupe (supposedly VCM causes high levels of oil consumption on these motors) 148k Miles on the clock. Did the timing belt and water pump and spark plugs/ Air filter after...

No mods driveway is at a very slight grade. I always check it at the most level Area and have always had accurate readings on other vehicles. I even did the tranny fluid on this accord two weeks ago accurately. I was thinking dipstick myself but idk. I'm gonna check at a gas station today. I...

So I just recently purchased a 2000 Honda accord lx auto with the sohc f20a1 2.3 VTEC four. I was given an oil change sticker after buying the car and it supposedly only did 14 miles on its current oci but I believe they tried to pull a fast one and didn't do the change. Now I checked the...
