    2023 Honda Civic Type R (PUP 5w-30) 4170 mile OCI

    This was the last of my PUP stash. I now have HPL Premium Plus 0W-30 in the sump. I will run 2 OCI with the HPL and do another UOA. Most people suggest no further than 5000 mile OCI on GDI turbo charged engines, but I drive quite a bit (mostly expressway) ands find myself doing oil changes every...

    2023 Civic Type R 5800 mile OCI

    I have pretty much stuck to the idea of 5 to 6K OCI with my DI turbo-charged engine. After getting this report back it seems to me I could probably safely stretch my OCI to 7000-7500 miles. Fuel dilution seems to have been held in check and the TBN still looks strong. I have PUP 5W-30 in the...

    OCI running HPL PPMO (FL5 CTR)

    I'm planning on using HPL PPMO in my 2023 Civic Type R once my stash of PUP is gone. For those that run HPL I'm interested in what kind of OCI you are running? I certainly don't like the idea of dumping out perfectly good oil, but on the other hand I've never been that keen on running much over...

    2023 FL5 CTR

    I bought a 2023 CTR a few months ago. It's a daily driver that might get tracked maybe once a summer. I live in the Midwest with cold winters and hot humid summers. My tentative plan is to run a quality full synthetic (right now PUP in the sump) 5w-30 during the hot summer months and the...

    Scored a new ride.

    I scored a new 2023 FL5 Civic Type R in championship white. I wasn't really looking, but at the dealership where I bought my Accord and happen to be friends with the sales mgr. they had the car in the inventory where I stumbled upon it. I have not seen any of these cars in my city so I decided...

    Amsoil SS 0w-20 // 6371 miles // 2020 Honda Accord 2.0

    I typically do all of my own maintenance using Kirkland full synthetic 0w-20 running 5000 mile OCI. In the winter months I use Amsoil SS so I can stretch the interval a little further and not have to craw under the car in the freezing cold. My question is looking at the TBN @ 2.2 after 6700...

    2020 Honda Accord // UOA 6792 miles // Amsoil SS 0w-20

    Being as my car is a small displacement turbo charged GDI I try to keep my OCI @ about 5000 miles. We took road trip to FL in December so since I do all of my own oil changes I thought I would go with Amsoil SS to try and stretch this interval out a bit to avoid having to change the oil in the...

    Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 UHP summer tires

    I just bought a set of these for my 2.0 Accord. I have read and seen good things about these tires as a budget summer tire. I have never run summer before and I will be waiting until mid-May before installing running them. Anybody have experience and / or an opinion on these Firestone summer tires?

    Electric Range Oven making a high pitched tone

    Our electric Range (stove) out of nowhere started making a high pitched noise. A good way to describe it is the noise a hearing aid battery makes when it needs replacing. It makes this noise whether the stove is turned on or off. Has anyone else experienced anything like this or know of what...

    Duramax 0w-20 2.7k mi at 2.5 years; Ford 4.6L 89k mi

    I recently changed the oil in my family members 2008 Ford F-150 (4.6L V8). This is not a daily driver and is only really driven when someone needs the use of a pickup truck. The used oil had been in the sump for over 2 1/2 years although the truck had only been driven a little over 2700 miles...
