I've switched to Havoline Lifelong 0w20

[Freischneider]

This decision was based upon price and availability. I've used Havoline off and on throughout the years without any problems. I can buy two 6 quart boxes of this oil and have three oil changes for my Honda.

What were you using prior to switch?

What were you using prior to switch?

PP. The price has been creeping up and the last few elemental analysis I've seen of this oil doesn't look too strong. Yes I know you can't see organic additives on a $30 analysis.

So, how does the engine "feel" with this oil vs. previous oils?

If you plan to use those Havoline boxes, I would invest in one of these:

No different at all. I took a 50 mile trip this morning and I got 52.1 MPG.

So have you now eh. Well so long partner, it was nice knowing you on here. Looks like you'll never have to change your oil anymore.....lol.

I have nothing haha feelings, sympathy, or empathy. 😂

Yeah I don't think that lifelong name is the best. Maybe long life or something.

Wow. Great mpg.

It's a 2017 Honda Accord hybrid EX-L.

Wow. Great mpg.

I will say that I always try to drive like there's a egg in between my foot and the accelerator. I never cracked over 55. And then I use regen breaking really hard whenever I was slowing down instead of the brakes. It really builds the battery up quick.

I’d use it more if it were readily available here.
