we had purchased the car literally the day before evacuating houston due to hurricane rita. we sat idling for ~10 hours. i changed the oil a few days after returning and took this sample to see how it weathered the evacuation.
"All that idling didn't hurt a thing. Your new Accord handled it like a champ. Wear is mostly
around averages, though of course this oil was only run 466 miles. Still, all the metals were in the
correct balance and nothing was out of line that would show a problem developing. Silicon was high,
and that's left over from sand-casted parts and sealers used at the factory. It should drop nicely next
time. The viscosity was a little low, so you may have had some fuel (that has since cooked out) shear
the viscosity during the idling. Otherwise, looks great! Check back."
enjoy!
