2007 Honda Civic EX 1.8L 5spd Auto.
154,246 miles.
Sump holds 3.9 quarts according to the book. I always manage to fit 4.2qts in during each oil change before reaching the FULL line.
Amsoil EA oil filter used.
NAPA GOLD / WIX air filter (unchanged since the last sample, i just pulled it out, tapped / flew any loose particles out and reinstalled it - it's got about 22k on it at the moment)
1/3 of a quart was added @ 8,000 miles. I tried to go the distance without adding anything but just don't like seeing the oil level get below the FULL mark, so i added some to top it off.
OLM was @ 50% the second time around, after i reset it @ 0% after 8,467 miles.
Driving conditions were: Round trip from Florida to California with dozens of stops along the way at various states / cities. Then a few other 400-800 mile trips with the rest being short trip city driving. (roughly 80% highway 20% city)
Sample was taken via the drain plug as i always do but without draining the sump. I'll run it another 1,000 miles and change the oil, based on the UOA results seen here.
What chu guys think?
p.s. I also sent a sample to Oil Analyzers and am still awaiting those results to see what they say, as well as compare the two UOAs reports for laughs and giggles. I'll post it once it comes in.
