As you might have read in my other thread, I had a new short block put in my Acura TSX, under warranty.
On the invoice, the tech entered the following stuff (aside from new short block, Honda MTF, and misc. nuts and bolts):
QTY // DESCRIPTION
4 // 5W30 M.OIL
1 // ULTRA OIL TREATMENT
2 // 10W30 OIL
Would this likely mean that they used approx 5.x Litres of oil (a blend between Honda OEM 5W30 and 10W30), along with some kind of Honda/Acura-recommended "Ultra Oil Treatment" for break-in, maybe to simulate what a regular, brand-new Honda/Acura has in it for break-in oil?
I plan on dumping this shortly (4K kms) in favour of some XD-3 0W30 and a Napa Gold filter, but I wanted to get your opinions on what exactly Honda/Acura was possibly getting at with the additives and blends of oil they put in the mostly-new engine?
