2010 HONDA ELEMENT 5W-20 OIL

[CACTUS24]

I CHANGED THE HONDA ELEMENT OIL, Mobil 1 5W-20, IT RUNS VERY
WELL, THE BREAK BAR HANDLE POSTIONED ON THE ON THE LEFT SIDE
LOOSENED THE DRAIN PLUG. THERE IS A NEW OIL FILTER ON THE CAR,
I HAVE TO PLACE THE FRONT WHEELS ON BLOCKS TO CHANGE THE OIL FILTER ON THE BACK RIGHT SIDE OF THE ENGINE ABOVE THE RIGHT WHEEL CONSTANT VELOCITY JOINT.

Someone better tell my K24 that the 30 weight in it, is not working well at 158K miles and zero consumption.

Maybe some of you will change your minds when (if) you look at the cam lobe wear patterns after about 80 K miles on 20 weight...

I STOLE A CACTUS FROM IN FRONT OF THE 3276TH SCHOOL SQUADRON
MESS-HALL AND BROUGHT IT HOME IN MY SEA-BAG...
