Second oil change on this vehicle and oil is still in service. Oil changes have been done with around 10% showing on the Oil Life Monitor. Did change the oil filter on the factory fill oil change but this oil filter (Fram Ultra Synthetic) has now been in service for about 22,000 miles and will be changed when I do finally change this oil. I've used Kirkland Signature 0W-20 Syn for both changes. Decided it was a good time to pull a sample and see if some of the potential issues that hybrid engines can be known for (fuel dilution, water, high resultant wear, etc.) was going to be an issue with my Accord Hybrid I bought new at the end of 2022. I'm exceptionally pleased with this vehicle so far as the hybrid integration is far beyond what I've experienced in other vehicles (we own a 2024 Toyota Sienna hybrid and I've driven some Prii as rentals over the years) and I have many tanks of fuel with over 60 MPG usually running Costco or Sam's Club 85 octane fuel.
From what I gather, things look fine. Think I'm good following Honda's recommendations built in to the car but wish I could snooze the service reminder that pops up every time you start the car beginning with 15% remaining (over 2000 miles on this vehicle). No plans to sample again until maybe well over 100k mi unless I have a reason to be suspicious as an oil analysis with TBN costs about as much as the two oil changes I've done so far on this car.
