    Increased oil consumption with 0W-30?

    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...

    Increased oil consumption with 0W-30?

    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...

    BEST engines.....

    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...

    How long did it take to receive VP oil ?

    You're not going to find too many VP users here. I think it would be best to fill-in their online form, or call your nearest VP regional office, which is in Manhatten, Kansas (785)539-2700 (e-mail: [email protected]).

    Mixture of GC and XD 0W-30

    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...

    Is 11,200 km OCI's Safe on an 06 Civic on 5w-20?

    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.

    Mobil 1 5W-30 or 0W-30 GC for Canadian winter 12 mile trips???

    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...
