My dilemma for next week and BITOG OCD for the '17 Accord, 2.4L earth dreams GDI, 6MT.
114.7k miles on vehicle. About 3700 miles on OCI with Fram FE7317. Oil when put in was 1qt HPL PCEO 5W-30 and 3.5qts PP Euro L 5W-30. In the 3700 miles it has been topped off with 1.5 qts of PP Euro L 5W-30 to keep it full. By end of next week it will be about 4500 miles, I've been trying to do about 5k changes based on timing/weather.
Monday 2-10-25 my son is taking it for some interviews in VA, western NC and I think SC. Looking at google maps he'll tack on about 2500 miles by the time he gets home.
My normal self says change it before he goes, start fresh. My brain says let it ride. Good oil, good filter, MM would probably do closer to 10k anyway with all highway. Other cars I did 7500 mile OCI's but they were not GDI either. Wonder how much more it will use and need topping? He'll have probably 2qts of whichever in the trunk.
Next dilemma's for before or after.
- Filter - NOS Honda made in USA Filtech 15400-PLM-A01 from @researcher OR another Fram FE7317 from my stock?
-Oil - 1qt will be the HPL PCEO 5W-30. The other 3.5 qts and top offs for next OCI is ????????
Oil supply stash on hand and need to use up something from those freaking sales threads. Have enough of each for the OCI and top offs.
