2008 Honda CR-V

[klt1986]

2008 Honda CR-V with 98,000 miles. I have ran synthetic oil in it since the first oil change when new. Has mostly run Mobil 1 Extended Performance 5w20 at 10,000 mile OCI's...per the Honda maintenance minder system. Been thinking about Pennzoil Platinum or Ultra...are these two up to the task of 10,000 mile OCI's?

Yes. I've been doing those OCI's with those oils for more than 100k now.

I would say so unless your driving is 100% short-trips (i.e. a few miles each way/not enough time for the engine to really warm up).

The K24 isn't too tough on oil. I've used Quaker State Ultimate Durability and Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy in my K24 Element with no problem. I have a used oil analysis coming in for the M1 soon too.

I run it down to 0% on the OLM and that is usually about 7k for me, but it's all local stop and go driving.

I would say any of those oil selections would be great for a full Maintenance Minder interval. If you want, you could use 0W20, which was back spec'ed for the K24s.
