Hello,
Last year we purchased used HONDA CR-V with 30k miles only to find out its burning ~2.5 quarts of oil between standard oil changes ( it takes 4 quarts ). The manual calls for filter change every OTHER oil change, but running Mobil 1 ( slightly thicker 10W-30 instead of 0W-20 the manual calls for) and seeing how much fresh oil I add, I am tempted to just let the oil sit there twice longer as per oil life monitor and just drain and change it with the filter. Its roughly once a year. I am going to post the UOA when I drain it. What is the consensus on such idea? Yes or no?
