Another run with Honda(COP made) full synthetic 0w-20. This is our short tripper 90% city vehicle though this time it did have a 1,000 mile highway trip in the mix. Honda OEM oil filter.
MM light used to trip at the 6,000ish interval, this time it was actually only at 30%. Replaced with the same.
Silicon is high again. There are no visible cracks or poor seals in the air filtration system--honestly I am over worrying about it. Air filter FWIW is Honda OEM, changing it has proven to not help.
