Mostly short trips,though the CR-V does see some longer hauls.

The Civic seems 'worse' with this, so maybe that is part of it.

Bill, thanks for the kind words, I'll check back in Sept!

I think the mostly short trips as he described is the culprit. Nothings worse for creating gunk that that. Hondas are hard to gunk up even with dino oil at long intervals.

Agreed, but if the cars are seeing the same type of service and the only difference is the oil...

Hopefully we'll get some resolution some time in the future if he chooses to pursue this.
