My UOA should be back this week on my 2021 Accord 2.0t. It was a 3300mi interval using 0w30ESP.
Nope...17' 2.4L Sport with Earthdreams K24 with full exhaust/intake.If you have 212,000 miles on what I assume is a Honda 1.5 TGDI engine, maybe fuel dilution isn’t the catastrophe we think it is. So don’t worry, be happy?

Clean the PCV valve? I pull it out every so often with MAF cleaner and spray it off. Since about 180,000 I use one bottle of Motor Oil Saver every 40,000 miles as I'm sure those smaller seals around valve stems are slightly worn. When I talked to Stefan about that he was excited to hear as that how it was designed to work; prophylactically. I've also tried to keep the throttle body clean and have used a little over 4 oz of the gumout multi-tune into the crankcase about every time before an oil change. Seems there is a happy medium, not too fast and not too slow driving.Thanks. Interesting, as my K24W shows the same level of fuel dilution despite no turbocharging.

BMW also uses heavy oil viscosity compared to Honda. I also read a study showing higher viscosity oil reduce fuel dilution. might be worth trying a heavier weight oil.Toyota's system has been dual injection for many, MANY years, like 2008? Ford recently followed suit and has gone the same way. BMW doesn't seem to have dilution issues, despite not having a hybrid dual injection system.
Most current BMW's spec a 0W-20.BMW also uses heavy oil viscosity compared to Honda. I also read a study showing higher viscosity oil reduce fuel dilution. might be worth trying a heavier weight oil.
Or 0W-12.Most current BMW's spec a 0W-20.
Can you link that study please?BMW also uses heavy oil viscosity compared to Honda. I also read a study showing higher viscosity oil reduce fuel dilution. might be worth trying a heavier weight oil.
