Been running 0W20 in my 13' CRV since new. Has alot of miles on that indestructible K-24, so gonna switch over to 5W30 when my stash runs out.

Well, from what I have been reading here, you may want to make another move away from the Fram filters.

True. The moment an oil filter starts showing up with louvers, I'm out.
2007 2.0L Ford Focus. 241,000 on 5w20 with 5,000 OCIs. Still runs great with no noticeable oil consumption.
Well I ran 5w20 in my 2007 crv for roughly the first 100k and have been using 0w20 for the last 100k at 5000 mile OCI. My friend has 550k on his 2010 crv using nothing special 5w20 at the full 10k oci. I say that because he doesn’t really know the interchangeably that exists between 5w20 and 0w20. He follows what’s on the oil cap it seems to be working. I did the valve cover gasket on his car last year and it was beautiful underneath.
