The Koreans for a long time specified ACEA specs before API/ILSAC. IMO, so that you have a leg to stand on, keep your receipts of every OCI. Nothing wrong with Kirkland oil, but a more stout Euro-spec oil(M1 ESP 0W-20/30 or 5W-30 also available in PP Euro L and Castrol Edge Euro C3 flavors) would be my pick.

Filter (Purflux L394) not changed for this mid service oil change
First use of Estune 7.5 liter manual/pneumatic oil extractor, which replaced an underwhelming Mityvac MV7400. The Estune exceeded my expectations, doing all that I had expected from my first oil extractor, and even better, faster, and cleaner.

I have the same engine and same warranty with 5 years remaining. Prior to 2022, that engine could use 0w/5w20/30 oils. Realizing a mistake in 0w20 viscosity for 2022, the viscosity was changed to 0w30 for 2023.
Use whatever you like. I'm only at this thread to help your engine live longer. Hyunkia Inc made 10 years of mistakes with oil viscosities. Do you really think they got your year correct and then wrongly changed it for 2023?
(my opinion) Our 2.0 MPI engines actually runs best and will last the longest on 10w30 and 0w40. But hey, use what the worst engine engineers on earth tell you. They know best....lol

What was the OLM number

OLM was at 68%
2008 Honda Odyssey (non-VCM) 204k miles
OCI: ~10mo 3750mi
Out: 10W-40 Valvoline MaxLife
Off: cicra 2011 dual layer Fram eXtended Gaurd 3593A
In: 10W40 Valvoline MaxLife
On: ToughGaurd 3593A
The OLM reached zero a few weeks ago, I finally changed it today, I put at least 3qts in it this OCI, so I decided that from now on I'll change it when it finally gets a quart low after the OLM goes off. I have a stash of clearanced 3593A Ultras I got from Meijer when they got rid of that size but the shelf they were on got moved and I don't know where somebody put the filters , but I at least I had a ToughGaurd on hand that I got for 72 cents when Meijer closed-out all the 3593A size filters.
2020 Acura TLX 2.4 Technology
odometer: 32,725 miles
oil change interval: 4,897 miles, 16 months, OLM at 50% (car was in storage for 5 months)
Out: Clearwater FL Acura 0w-20 and Honda filter
In: Rotella Gas Truck 5w-20 synthetic, Premium Guard PG4612 filter
This was a very cheap oil change. Oil was 50 cents a quart after the Shell rebate from Autozone's 2019 RGT clearance. Filter was 84 cents from a recent case purchase on Amazon. Total cost: $3.59 including a new Honda drain plug washer. This car in my climates doesn't need any stinking 0w-20.
The bad news: after my photograph shown below, I could not get the K&N PS-1010 filter to thread on. The starting groove seemed to be cut poorly and several careful attempts failed. I had to switch to a PG4612, which went right on. Email sent to K&N. I believe the filter was made by Champion Labs.
