2022 Honda Civic 1.5T with 248,000 miles!

We dont know enough to make any determination about oil or other.

Without a leakdown we just dont know what condition the mill is in outside of the miles its attained.

It could range anywhere from fresh and tight or a clapped out leaky sieve.

I would be interested to know if they strictly followed the MM and changed filters every other cycle.

Any reservations I might have once had about the longevity of the Honda turbocharged L15 are now gone. Looks like a fine replacement for the mighty K24.

With all the highway miles feel dilution wasn't an issue on the L15.

Highway and nearly always on conditions are far easier on equipment.

Remember the lady in the Hyundai who had over a million miles

Absolutely, as long as it's not idling too long in one place. I bought my first car from a girl that was foreign exchange from Sweden. She drove it from Lindsborg to KC all the time. Had 290,000 plus when I bought it.

At honda, the oil doesn't matter, even this 1.5 t lasts forever. Here is another example.

How common are the head gasket issues on the 1.5T?

i haven't even heard of this and I'm on the crv forum weekly....

 

[CarfriendXX]

Only 0W20 was used for my posted vehicle. The topic, thin oils destroy the engine or cause it to wear out early. Honda also builds great engines. Problems with the head gasket are only known to me so far with the k20c1 Type r.

Almost 600 miles per day? The driver must be a meth head.

Uber driver or medical courier. However, many Uber/Lyft drivers **** about their cars.

 

[HondOtaChOrd]

To be fair most people treat their cars like trash @nthach . I bet most BITOG members cars with 200k miles look and drive better than the average car with 100k miles.

From Google:
What is a medical courier? Medical couriers deliver medical documents, lab specimens, medications, test results, medical supplies, and other records across the country every single day. In many cases, the delivery of these resources is critical to saving lives and advancing medical sciences.

One time my wife went into her lab waiting for a sample to arrive in liquid nitrogen vial. They made it within a few hours of all liquid nitrogen evaporating away from a long 5-day trip. FedEx have a special kind of deliver for those, not your typical one. Last I heard that sample cost almost 1M to generate so losing it can be a death sentence for her workplace.

Many of these samples have short shelf life (think DNA samples).

FedEx Custom Critical most likely. Exclusive use of the vehicle for whatever your load is. I was with them for several years. Interesting times. I had a 40' straight truck with 24' of cargo box. One job was taking a 2 gallon jug of some polymer resin mix to the company making heat shields for the space shuttle. At first glance it seemed I had an empty truck before noticing the cardboard carton 24' up against the nose of the box. That 2 gallon jug was valued at $344,000. Several other interesting jobs and a ton of everyday boring ones. It's the best division of FedEx for customers.

I’ve seen those trucks out on the road, there’s a lot of biotech here(Genentech/Roche has HQ and manufacturing here, Bayer has their main world blood products plant as well).

 

[LDB]

Ours say "Custom Critical" beneath the logo, other divisions say other things. Ours are the special handling specialists and take high-dollar, explosives, military etc. One of my loads was ~$15M of computer equipment for an emergency prep drill from Mississauga to St. Paul. The customer was very pleased with how it was loaded and secured and hired FedEx to have me sit 4 days and wait to be the one to return it when finished. Otherwise no telling where I'd have been by then.

According to the AutoCheck report it was first titled on 6/28/21. This works out to about 4,000 miles/week!

Honestly - - - - - you would need more money than sense to buy this at that price.

Drove my friends 23 Civic Sport with the NA 2.0L (K20c2) with the CVT. Was really impressed with this car. It may be the smoothest driving car I've driven. The CVT does an excellent job managing the little power the 2.0L has. Acceleration is decent. Off the line it's meh, but once you're moving power is adequate. No one is buying the car to race, so for day to day driving this may be one of if not the best economical daily driver. The 2.0L should out live the rest of the car. A manual is going to be more fun and engaging, but I can't say anything negative about the CVT at all. Truly impressive economy car by Honda. I can see why it rates so high.

He has almost 800k now.. or probably already hit that currently because this vid is a few months old.

 

[andrew_j]

Wow that asking price is high. They would have saved a lot of time and money changing the oil themselves.

Maybe they dropped car off and slept while changed or ate. 600 miles/day is likely 10+hrs/day driving .

 

[mrjlube]

Most likely are Courier as someone stated earlier. My 2021 Escape has 194,000 miles and Im a Courier. All highway miles and Amsoil xl oil.
