Getting ready to do the first oil change on my 2022 Accord Touring 2.0 Turbo. Considering using Quaker State Full Synthetic 5W30 with the Honda OEM filter. ANy issues running this combination?

Owners manual only states:Curious does it call for SN SN+ or SP?
Yes, manual calls for 0W20.I believe the owners manual calls for 0W-20?
2021 Accord Sport 2.0t here. Im currently running M1 ESP 5w30. My research shows a w30 weight holds up a little better in these GTDI engines.
No problem, QS FS 0W-20 is a good oil. It EXCEEDS your Honda's oil requirements. Use it with confidence. Just do a short OCI, preferably 5K miles no matter what the manual says
I may make the switch to 5w30 depending on my UOA of QSFS 0w20 results in my Accord 2.0t especially since I’m making around 125 horsepower over stock (based off of 1/4 mile trap speeds).2021 Accord Sport 2.0t here.

Good choice. That would be my top choice for that engine, as well (at least among oils that are reasonably easy to obtain).2021 Accord Sport 2.0t here. Im currently running M1 ESP 5w30. My research shows a w30 weight holds up a little better in these GTDI engines.
I always go with a K&N filter or nothing. With inflation prices they are now $18/filter though. Used to pay around $12-$13 from what I recall. Maybe $15 max.If you're doing it yourself, be prepared to use a good filter wrench to get the filter off. They are usually tight.....very tight. Matter of fact, here's a picture of the official Honda filter installer at work on the assembly line:

How long are you going between oil change intervals ?

Keep us posted I should have my results in next week and I’ll post them. I posted your 0w20 UOA below it’s crazy how low the viscosity dropped after just 3300 miles. Then again I’m giving 0W20 Castrol Edge a go as it is less prone to shearing (so they say).Im gradually increasing OCI. Right now Im going to 5k and monitoring fuel dilution.
0w20 is shearing in these engines check out this UPA after only 3300 miles I can only imagine how bad mine would have sheared (more horsepower and racing).Is the 2.0 known to have dilution problems?
We have the 1.5 Accord engine. I am on my first oci using Catrol 0w20 Edge + Honda OEM filter. I am going with an 0w30 next time and will run a uoa after each. Just curious to see how they differ. I will be sending my samples to Amsoil labs to make sure I get a real "fuel" number as opposed to the Blackstone results based on what I have learned here that Blackstone's results are not obtained from the use of a GC lab test.Keep us posted I should have my results in next week and I’ll post them.
