Oil filter: Purolator premium
Miles on oil: 7,673
Miles on engine: 136,435
Oil added: 1.5 quarts (.5 quart at 3,000 miles & 1 quart at 6,500 miles)
My notes: This was about 6 months on this oil with a mix of about 90% highway and 10% short trips (one day a week would have 7-8 1/4 mile trips).
Current set-up is 5w30 PP with a Mobil 1 EP filter. The 7-8 short trips have been eliminated so it should be 95% highway miles.

Nathan: This is easily the longest oil run that we've seen from your Honda and wear looks great here! We don't think that going 10k miles on your next oil would be too many, as your engine wears far better than most. We found nothing in this sample that would point to any obvious mechanical problems developing and the sample was free of harmful contaminants, as well. At 136, 435 miles, we think the 1.8L that powers your Civic is wearing like a champ. Check back when you have your oil changed next. Who knows? You may be able to go longer than 10k miles on the oil.
