I assume this is Honda 0W20 full synth as the oil change was done at the dealer in early November of 2020. But looking at another UOA:
this UOA doesn't look like the same oil. Unless they are different formulations of Honda oil. Regardless, this oil was changed with the OLM almost to 20%. We had been driving about 720 miles since it changed to 30% and historically we've gotten 400-850 miles per 10% on the OLM depending on how much highway driving is done. I would guess if the OLM displayed in single digits, it would've been at about 21-22%. The 2.2 TBN seems to match up fairly closely to the OLM this time around. I'm not sure I agree with Blackstone's 7k mile recommendation, but 6000 miles seems doable.
We live in a small town, so lots of short (
The sample was taken about 45 minutes after a 20 mile drive. Car is driven almost exclusively in ECO mode. We did an experiment with 91 octane fuel for a few tanks during this OCI to see if it had any effect on fuel economy. It did not.
Oil level did not rise on the dipstick. That combined with 0.8% fuel and not terribly low flashpoint tells me we're doing something right (or just lucky) with this engine. We replaced the oil with M1 EP 0W20. VOA here:

and a Fram Ultra XG7317. We'll take it 5-6k miles (typically as much as we drive in a year) and report back. I think for the next oil change, we might try M1 AFE 0W30. We'll be officially out of warranty by then, so any concerns about out-of-grade oil will be moot.
HONDA 0W-20 syn / Honda CRV / 1.5L DI turbo / 5k miles
First UOA on my 2017 CR-V as I was a little concerned about the reported fuel dilution problems with the 1.5 turbo DI engine. The UOA showed 3% fuel. I have not noticed a rise in the oil level and none of the previous oil changes smelled like there was a lot of fuel in the oil. I am sticking to...
