Whoa!! That must be a forum record. Only long haul truckers or maybe some Hotshot drivers would do more. Incredible. If you changed every 3k, you were under that car A LOT. Wow.

I also think that frequent changes aren’t always enough and can be detrimental too if a high quality oil isn’t used. As soon as that oil hits the hot pistons, you’re going to get deposit formation, even in the first few miles, as the lighter ends burn off.

I’m not sure it’s published. I think it’s estimated based off others’ Noack.

I can’t speak to that exact engine, but there are enough reports of oil burning and other issues with meticulous 5k OCI with high quality OTS synthetics that I would probably run HPL or Amsoil if I had younger cars. Now I’m cleaning up the mess from my PO with VRP. Then will run high quality...

Wow. How many miles a year? 50 cents a mile is pretty good though. My expenses for gas is about 20 ¢/mile.

It’s very easy to pay a lab and own the intellectual property of what they develop. This is very common in medical research. Drug companies fund research all the time in labs in universities. Anything they develop is owned by the drug company because they paid for the research.

Wow so not amazing. Just meets API spec.

I’d buy it and run it. Beaucoup reports here of it resolving oil burning.

Have you heard of Valvoline Restore and Protect?

That’s impressive. I agree with others that you could have stretched the OCIs a bit with a quality synthetic, but hard to argue with success too!

I think in Canada they cut a check.

600,000 miles is really impressive! For any car! Do you burn any oil? I’m no expert, but it does seem that the transmissions are the weak link in Hondas. And the VCM in the J series engines.

We need a compilation of the best posts on why you can’t use VOA or UOA to determine the quality of the oil. Then we can just link to it when people make the claim.

That CRV has to be longer than 13 feet! Did you modify it?

Can you link to the source please instead of copying and pasting?

The more they drag their feet, the longer they make interest on the money.

There’s no question it will clean better. The reports are countless now of it cleaning up engines and reducing or eliminating oil consumption. I have it in both of my cars now. Going to do at least 4 OCIs with it. I don’t even have any consumption. Just want to clean everything up.

Yes, that's correct.
