Did you have UAOs with this and other filters? I am wondering if insolubles are similar with similar conditions and different oil filters.

Thanks for your reply. The Honda has an intelligent Oil Life Monitor which gives the oil life remaining based on driving conditions. Honda recommends changing the oil when the iOLM is 15% or lower but before 0. I've been doing the oil change shortly after 15% regardless of the miles. Others...

I know fuel in the oil is not good but I have some additional questions anyway. 1. Someone told me that time lowers octane. Meaning that if the gas is a few months old, its octane is lower. Is that true? 2. If true, would lower octain in the oil lower the oil's viscosity more than highter...

I just went to Pennzoil website for the oil. Link to Spec for Pennzoil Platinum 5W-30 oil. The flash point is listed as: 224C per ASTM D93. 224C = 435.2F which is higher then the lab's report of 420F. The Kinematic Viscosity @ 100 C cSt is listed as: 10.3 per ASTM D445. 10.3 is higher then...

The first UOA, the one on the left, was about a year after the dealer's complimentary free oil change. I assume it was 5w30 as on the manual & oil cap. All the dealer told us was the oil was a Pennzoil blend. Then the UAO had a low viscosity with an elevated copper. So I was thinking maybe the...

Actually I do change mine & my wife's oil. For the Lexus, I believe it cost a little less then $35. I got the Pennzoil PP+ at WM. I got the filter cartridge at a local Toyota dealer which is cheaper then at WM & a lot cheaper then from a Lexus dealer. If I change her oil about twice a year, it...

Pennzoil PP+, 5w30, 09 Luxus ES 350, High Copper This Lexus was only driven 1680 miles in over 28 months. It is mostly driven less than 2 miles at a time. It also sits without being driven for periods of time. It was driven about 25 miles before this oil change. I am concern about the high...

The MM on my 2013 Accord hits 15% between 5853 and 7100 miles. It depends on the driving conditions. The below link is the post for my UOAs. Link to UOAs

The UAOs are posted from left to right with earlier ones on the left. The first one is the factory oil which Honda is known for high moly in the FF. The next two are Mazda high moly 0w20 oil. The moly in the last one is the PPP+ and has residue from the previous. I used the Mazda high moly at...

It took about 4 weeks for the USPS to deliver my last sample. I contacted the postoffice after about 3 weeks. See the tracking HERE!

I used the Mazda 0w20 for the first two changes then the Pennzoil PPP+ 0w20 for the last. It is difficult to say from the small sample, especially when the Mazda oil was used when my Honda Accord was still breaking in, But I think the Pennzoil is better. My UOAs for both oils are here: HERE. HERE.

Congrad on hitting 150,000 miles. My 03 had just over 140,000 miles (I think 143k miles) before I got my 13. Is that much makeup oil normal for you car? I seldem had to add oil for both my 02 & 13 Accords. But my 13 Accord now seems to need makeup oil after only 3000 miles on the 0w20 Pennzoil...
