I bought a 2023 CTR a few months ago. It's a daily driver that might get tracked maybe once a summer. I live in the Midwest with cold winters and hot humid summers. My tentative plan is to run a quality full synthetic (right now PUP in the sump) 5w30 during the hot summer months and the recommended 0w-20 for the balance of the year. I typically run a 4-5k mile OCI. My daily commute for work is about 80 miles and the car is not subject to many short trips. For those that know way more about this than I do does this sound like a solid plan?

I run 5w30 in my accord on stage 3. I prefer valvoline (runs quieter). I change the oil every 4k miles because of fuel dilution.
Since you have winters (I dont) I would definitely use 0w20 in the winter and change more often because of the fuel dilution you will have. Same motor different turbo.
I also recommend you rev it out once a day. Give that GDI system a good italian tune up.

I'm in Cincy. They do salt, but it actually doesn't snow that much. My car is Championship White. I also have a old beat-up pickup truck that I drive to keep some of the miles off the CTR.
If you're planing on keeping the vehicle, don't drive it at below 50F temps (Winter).
5K OCI's on any 5w30 is a solid plan.

Is your driving under 50F concern about the summer tires or something do do with the engine (drivetrain) ?
personally i would run either 0w30 or 5w30 all year round esp with the honda fuel dilution
Rust, man, rust...
I had to look google what the heck a FL5 CTR is. Enjoy.
Yup took me a minute... thought it was some kinda Cadillac to start with...
For the uninitiated Civic Type R. FL5 being the latest Civic chassis code.
