Craig in Canada,
The PCV valve have never been changed. Just recently, I examined its operability by pinchng the PCV holes and listening to see if it clicks. The result is that it did click every time I pinched the holes, thus it is an indication that the PCV valve is working properly...
Televascular,
You're lucky to only top-off 1/4 of a quart in 5000 miles. I---on the other hand---have topped-off a little over four litres in 4000 kilometres in my current OCI. I own a 2001 Honda Prelude with 72,000 kilometres on the odometer. The compression ratio of this engine (H22) is...
ZDDP is a family of zinc salts of dithio organophosphates. They are soluble in nonpolar solvents, so they easily dissolve in mineral and synthetic oils used as lubricants...The main use of ZDDP is in anti-wear additives to lubricants (eg. greases, motor oils, hydraulic fluids). To date it is the...
Can anyone in here prove I30KRAB's claim. I like Japanese automobiles, but I wouldn't go so far as to say what he said. From what I have read and seen there are many well-built American engines, just as there are many well-built European and Japanese engines. My post is not to antagonise...

In only 4300 kms (2687 miles) from December 1st to this present day, my 2001 Honda Prelude engine consumed 3.5 litres of oil. I'm not concerned at all. More info below.
Total kilometres on vehicle: 62,300
Original fill: 3.8 litres of GC and a litre of Esso 0w30
Make up oil to date: 3.5 litres...
I have mixed 3.8 litres of green GC and a litre of XD-3 0w30. It's been in my 2001 Prelude engine since the beginning of December 2005. Because this H22 engine naturally consumes oil, I've topped it off with .2 litres of green GC, .5 litres of XD-3, and about 1.8 litres of Havoline.
I would NOT...
Operating a vehicle in most part of Canada is slightly more severe than the US; Not the other way around. Your Honda owner's manual should say to refer to 'severe maintenance schedule' when operating a vehicle in Canada.
I have never used Mobil 1 on my 2001 Honda Prelude, but I do think it is a better start-up performer than GC which is currently in the engine. I say this because I used Redline 5w30 last winter and the start-up comparison between that and GC is distinguishable. Don't let my comment stop you or...
That's one crazy login (no insult intended).

Greetings Hardcharger. I understand that you did not receive a single response in nearly 19 hours, but you need to be patient. Members, like myself, are waiting for more knowledgeable people, or people who have experimented with both brands, to answer your question. I want to know the answer as...
