Thanks!How's the calculated gas mileage ? Enjoy
I like the looks of the Ionic and they drive well.Thanks!
51 mpg on the dot. The computer says 49.7. Go figure.
You seem to be getting good results with that ST stuff! Is that new car using any oil at all?View attachment 93539

Do you have a UOA of 0W20 at 3K already? That would be the best way to compare.2020 Honda CRV EX-L 23,100 miles

Will do a UOA at 3K to see if this stands up to thinning better than 0W-20
Isn't it more cost effective to buy the 5qt jug than individual quarts?View attachment 93539

No, not using any that I can tell.You seem to be getting good results with that ST stuff! Is that new car using any oil at all?
It is but only by a dollar or so. I also prefer not to have a leftover quart since it takes 4. All that said, I still have jugs of 0w20 around.Isn't it more cost effective to buy the 5qt jug than individual quarts?
I have one at 2.5K that shows dilution at 2.5% and thinned below grade, also one at 4.2K at 3.5% also thinned below grade. I'm thinking a 3K UOA will give me a fair look at the 0W-30. This was suggested, not only here but by my Honda Certified Master Technician and his service manager after closely looking at my UOA's, checking everything on the CRV that can be checked. Interestingly, my 2 previous Civics, a 16 and a 19 ran virtually perfect UOA's with Mobil1 0W-20 AFE at 5K intervals. My mechanic has heard rumors of an improved fuel injector with different metering for the CRV. Honda has been through several tweaks, twists and turns with this engine trying to resolve dilution which appears in some, not all of the them. There's quite a bit of discussion in the CivicX forum on dilution issues, haven't checked the Accord forums. Apparently many 1.5t engines have long and trouble-free lives, I just find the UOA's on my CRV's troubling.Do you have a UOA of 0W20 at 3K already? That would be the best way to compare.
