I have been the original owner and typically changed the oil every 3-4k. Around 80,000 it started to eat oil sometimes topping it off 2q between oil changes. I truly do not remember which oil I used on this sample but I think it was PPHM 5w-20. The filter was Fram ultra synthetic, filter that stayed on for two OC. For replacement I placed another Fram US but went with PUP 5w-30. I'm at 2400 miles already and have only added .5q of oil. But traffic has decreased so I don't have to stop and go anymore since the oil change. MPG has increased too but probably due to less traffic. I drive 36 miles round trip 5 days a week 6 of those miles are city.
"This first report from your 2008 Accord shows it is in good health. Metals are low compared to the
universal averages. For the 2.4L engine, those are based on about 6,800 miles, and if you want, you can try
a similar interval (say 6,000-7,000 miles) next time, based on how good metals look after 4,000 miles. The
lack of contamination from fuel and coolant, as well as the good air and oil filtration (see silicon and
insolubles) also boast of this engine's ability to handle a longer run. The oil itself should be fine, since its
TBN of 2.3 means active additive
