Got a new report on the Fit.
The Previous report:
https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/t...xlife-full-synthetic-0w20-8-500-miles.347461/
This time, I ran a little longer after adding the HPL Engine Cleaner for the final 1600 miles. I’m waiting to share what the oil filter looks like cut open, per 53’ Stude! I will link that thread here later.
This is my first time using a lab other than BS. I added 1 Qt of makeup oil at about 4k before adding the HPL EC at roughly 7.4k.
Consumption during OCI has recently increased, PCV Valve is going to be inspected soon.
Regarding the Si readings, I had to work on the air filter box due to a vacuum hose leak and inside the box, under the filter there was a lot of dust! It has a washable AFE Pro Dry S. So, I may go back and do some cleaning to remove the excess dust from the filter box and shake loose whatever the filter is holding. There has been a lot of construction and dry air recently is the only thing I can suspect for there being so much present inside the sealed box for the filter. I’ve been happy with the Pro Dry S, but Si doesn’t seem to be effecting wear metals much.
I should also note that the entire OCI, and some of the previous interval, I drove it with cylinder 1 spark plug loosened enough to allow blow by and a loss of power. Did not find the issue until doing the oil change this past weekend when tracking down an abnormal engine noise.
Hope this image is clear enough!
