8th Gen Accord OLM Variance

[Brybo86]

I have an 2008 Accord 2.4L and the OLM must be initially calibrated for a 10k OCI.
With my driving in Chicago I have many short trips under 2 miles as well as many 1000 miles trips during any given OCI. I have seen anywhere from 8800mi in the winter and about 9500mi in the summer when run to 0%.

I'm not sure if all the cars leaving the factory got the same setting or can the OLM be changed if using
synthetic vs dino, or
normal vs severe conditions?

For example: a car setup to run synthetic under normal conditions the OLM would be calibrated for 10k
synthetic oil under severe conditions 7.5k
conventional under normal 5k
or conventional under severe 3k

Anyone one else have an 8th Gen Accord who knows their approximate OLM OCI?

It's probably calibrated to what the owners manual suggests. If it doesn't call for a synthetic, it's probably calibrated for a conventional oil.

Conventional oil and the MM system is a complex algorithm. The owners manual explains all the service codes that will pop up. Check the oil level often, every two weeks or so.

I'm at 40% at 7800 miles 90% highway.
