The 7317 is what it specs, but I use the 3593A because it's larger and it fits.I'm surprised your Honda doesn't take the 7317 filter.

But does it have the same bypass setting?The 7317 is what it specs, but I use the 3593A because it's larger and it fits.
i also run 3593a’s on my Hondas.But does it have the same bypass setting?
Pennzoil synthetic runs a little on the lighter side of a 30 weight oil so you should be fine - you may check if any other oil grades are listed in the OM for this engine ?2021 Ram 1500 3.6 V6, 43,905 miles. 6,997 miles on oil, and it was down around 17%. I haven't driven it to when it tells you to change the oil, but supposedly it happens at 15% and figured today was a good day to change it. Had several quarts of Pennzoil 5W-30 Full Synthetic sitting around from the wife's late Equinox, so throwing caution to the wind, put 5W-30 in despite the 0W-20 on the filler cap.
Very nice, any oil consumption?09 Accord 2.4 VTEC, 280,000 miles...Valvoline Restore & Protect 5W-20, Fram Ultra Synthetic Filter..
If the chain was prone to stretching it would have done so already at 165.5K miles.Changed oil in buddy’s 2012 Buick Enclave. 165,640 miles. It is using oil and he doesn’t check it often. So instead of usual Mobil1 5W30 EP I was putting in, went 0W40 to see if it slows down consumption a bit. Plus, might be better for that chain.

Yes, as far as I know, biggest issue is oil consumption and people neglecting it. So, let's see if 0W40 helps a bit.If the chain was prone to stretching it would have done so already at 165.5K miles.
My daughter has the GMCversion of this model. It will certainly like the 0w40.Changed oil in buddy’s 2012 Buick Enclave. 165,640 miles. It is using oil and he doesn’t check it often.

Nah. I stay away from that.My daughter has the GMCversion of this model. It will certainly like the 0w40.
BG MOA and BG EPR may help consumption most. A five minute engine flush produces good results, using this BG Product.
Google them.
What bad results have you-had? I've yet to read / hear any.Nah. I stay away from that.
BG is used by VW dealerships to flush the coolant systems (total snake oil sales), and the main reason why they have clogged heater cores as those that skip never have issues. I personally would not touch that with 10ft pole.What bad results have you-had? I've yet to read / hear any.
This is the simplest / easiest flush I ever encountered. Pour it in moments leading to oil change time and wait five minutes of idle-time. Then drain. After-effects are a cleaner engine and less consumption...... many times cut in half.
Follow the instructions on the label. But hey, some users can't do that correctly.![]()
Looked that up and still looks like the LLT engine in the '12 Enclave. PCV on the rear bank may be clogged. Clean and drill out 7/32 single and 5/32 for the double holes. Ours did 1qt per 5k mi from new, since this it's slowed down to less than that.Yes, as far as I know, biggest issue is oil consumption and people neglecting it. So, let's see if 0W40 helps a bit.
Use a scraper to get under it/between the lip of the pcv and valve cover. Then pop it out with a flat bladed screwdriver. Here's one from a 100k mi LLT:
