A little less but yes. I posted a comment in the VRP NOACK thread also. I'll keep an eye on it. This next change I was planning on the same oil but we'll see that day. I have other choices in my stash or Walmart is 5 minutes away.
Post a photo of your oil on dipstick (with miles)

2019 Pilot. 4700 miles on the PP Euro-L 5W-30. 67,800 on the vehicle.
Just got back from about 600 miles of road trip. Not that it's much but the oil was right below the full line when it was changed.

I find it very hard to get my phone to focus on the tip of the dipstick. LOL
Here is the engine bay on our 2013 Volvo S80. I recently detailed it with 303 Protectant.
Here is the oil level on the dipstick. If you can't tell, it's about 1/8" above the full mark.
650 miles on the oil. 80450 miles on the vehicle.

PP 0W20 @ 3,500 miles. Almost as yellow as the sticker in the background
Here is a dipstick photo from my sisters car (second photo) A 2008 Mercedes A150 w169. She bought the car 6 months ago with 33k miles from an 80 year old man in like new condition. I changed her oil in november and she is 600miles into the OCI (Eni i sint 10w40 229.3). I have never seen a petrol engine turn the oil so dark so fast. My mother has the same car same engine with 110k miles and the oil is much cleaner after 2k miles. My mothers car is always short tripped. My sister also uses the car for short trips under a mile during the week but she drives home every other weekend which is about a 120mile round trip. First photo is the dipstick from my mums car at 2k miles approx. Both smell gas
02’ Dakota 2WD truck. 3.9 v-6. Currently 2k into 5k interval with half rotella t5 10w30 and HPL 5w20 NO VII
152,155 miles on odometer too

I do wonder if the bare spots are from some of the HPL cleaning. Guess we shall see in another 2k when the MOPAR M0-090 gets chopped open

Cool Dipstick. Like the markings
I'm thinking it needs some engine flush like BG EPR if available. Almost like that old man barely changed it in the 33k.
Looks like about 1 qt or more into the "do not overfill" area?
