What exactly is in the upper cylinder that needs lubricating and isn't getting it without using the additive?

Can't you get oil temp off the ODBC2? I had a 2012 Civic, which had no water temp gauge, so I got one of these...

The Flambar Oscillator.
I heard it lubricated the Veeblefetzer.

I think this should be good enough and will last me a while
Right on!

back to reality...
5/13 I changed out the 0/40 for the same, reused the ultra filter..my G/F was driving it 2,500 mostly short trips in this space as I'm busy updating on the T4R..anyway, I can report no dilution causing the oil level to increase.

...well confirms 1.5L dilution is a cold weather phenomenon..and plenty cold here 8 mo./yr....drove to town and back 50mi. today really get a confident feel engine/drive always in cinc and a big departure from my last 2k in the 18 wheeler earlier this week...lol.
Thinking this lubrication challenge is pretty well under control whatever the climate if your willing to think outside the manual.

Well may I suggest to check the manual, particularly the page where they make the oil recommandation, and publish a chart with ambient temperatures vs recommended oil weights?
If your temperatures are within the chart, then the problem is Honda’s. May be that the oil recommendation is wrong. Or they were too optimistic with the temperature range.
lol
