'16 Honda Pilot 93k mi, Kirkland Sig 5w30 2.9k mi

Most recent UOA for my Pilot at 93k miles. Ran Costco 5w30 for 2,900mi. Looks like I should be able to take it to 4k miles with no issues

Even though you didn't change the filter the results look great. 4k should work. Were the previous UOA using 5w-30 as well except for #6?

The #6 was the last 0w20 (Mobil Super) that I’ve ran in the Pilot. Prior to #6 was also 0w20 but Pennzoil Platinum and #5 was Amsoil SS. Since ~72k miles I’m running 5w30 (Pennzoil Platinum at first and then Kirkland once my Pennzoil stash was used up)

Thanks for the details, It looks like the PP & Amsoil had better viscosity control with the fuel vs the Super. This Kirkland should get you to 4k miles or more. Thanks for sharing both of your UOA.

Why in the world is anybody wasting time and money testing oil at 3k miles in an average-miles Honda Pilot? And trepidatiously wondering whether they ought to risk... 4k miles???
