I don't believe I'm seeing it, but never ran an analysis. It's just what I read when I first was made aware of the issue and kept with it.

I just went Fram to get the job done. I change pretty often because I've read it helps with the fuel dilution with my engine. I'll be going back to OEM though next time.

Perfect. I'll make the Walmart run. Thanks.

I stick to OEM for my air filter but my dealership has not had them lately, they've been on backorder for the past month. What's the go to alternative on the forum? Something I can get locally.

Yeah that's what I'm hearing. Might try the Titanium but ultimately I'll stick with the Ultra long term.

Yeah, I get it. I talked to the dealer about the dilution and they really didn't have answers for me, brushed it off or didn't even know about it. So I just said whatever, I'm going to do what I want to do. At least you have a 2019, I think they would of figured something out by then. From...

I go back and forth between 20 and 30, last 30 I had was Amsoil 0w-30. Right now I'm running HPL 0w-20. Both were fine and didn't notice much of a difference between the two. I did feel the 20 offered a bit better gas mileage but that could just be the driving habits. Also never ran an oil...

Yeah, I do that. I do all the suggestions I found on here to help with the fuel dilution: 91 octane, changing the air filter every 10k miles, XW-30 instead of 20, and shorter intervals. Sometimes I let the interval get away on me but figure I'm doing all the other mitigation efforts that I'll be...

Good info, thanks everyone. I'll give the Titanium a shot for fun.

I'm going to do an oil change here soon on my wife's 2017 CR-V 1.5L Turbo. I've used Fram Ultra's for a majority of the changes but looking to try something else for a change and fun. Something that might get similar respect on the forum. I was thinking maybe the PurolatorBOSS or the Fram...

I guess if I was going boutique, this would be the way to go!

Haha, some good response. I know I'm wasting monies with the boutique oils, just something I've always done with my vehicles. I'm not a big fan of the whole "schmamsoil" so that's why I moved onto HPL after reading about them here. I'll look into the ones mentioned though, I do have a little...

Its more so a want than a need thing. 🤓

I come and go on this forum, mostly reading but I do like to hear opinions on my next oil purchase. I will admit that I am an oil snob and like to use the boutique oils, even though I'm changing oil at approximately 7k miles per the oil reminder. I'm also a water and coffee snob, according to...

That's good to know, but also bummer about the pay cut.

I honestly don't have the answer for that, just what I've read. The post I read had an explanation but I don't remember it. For all I know it could be a waste of money, but I'll found out when I do the oil analysis.

I'm one of the lucky owners of a 2017 CR-V 1.5L, so I know your concern. At least you did your research prior to buying earlier because I wish I would of. I would of definitely gone with something else, though engine aside the CR-V is a pretty awesome family car. Anyway, I've run Amsoil SS...

I've never ran an oil analysis but think I'm going to. Would it matter if I have some pretty fresh oil in there? Or can I just run it whenever? Also what lab is preferred? Also for oil, I'm going to give HPL a go. I'll talk to Honda about dilution when I take it in for a check-up, see if they...

Dahn, that's what my approach has been and from what I've read. Think I'll be sticking with the 5w-30 to play it safe.

I thought the consensus was that a 30W would reduce down to a 20W in these engines due to fuel dilution? Is that not the deal anymore?
