Hi guys,
I have a 2013 Honda Civic Si (K24Z7 2.4L engine) and I would like to try to extend my oil change intervals. I've been running Rotella T6 5w40 on 5000 mile intervals and Pennzoil Platinum 5w30 before that (I couldn't find it last time so I went with an alternative, hence the Rotella). I'd like to try to get at least 10,000, if not 15,000 miles on a change. I have a Fumoto valve on my car so I can sample mid-cycle easily and see how things are going. The engine currently has just over 42,000 miles and will have its next change at 45,000 miles.
I've got a guy on Facebook trying to sell me on the merits of the cult of Amsoil, and they do market their stuff for 15,000 mile intervals. But their marketing and sales annoys me, it's super expensive, and I'm skeptical of their claims. Other names I hear often are Redline and Motul. I plan to stay with a 5w30.
Any recommendations? I've been trawling through the UOA forum but I haven't seen too many examples from this engine that would guide me and give me confidence for an extended interval.
