2015 Honda Accord EX-L V6, 66,098 miles
4,995 miles on oil
Out: Valvoline Restore and protect 5W-30 w/ Honda 15400-PLM-A02 oil filter
In: Same oil, Microgard Select MSL57356
My father bought this car back in April as he always was a fan of my brothers 9th gen, except he wanted the V6. So far it has been great, knock on wood. I disabled VCM not too long after we got it. And not even a day after we got it, I poured in some Valvoline Restore and Protect. Im happy to report It did not burn a drop of oil with this last OCI. On the second run of Valvoline Restore and Protect now. So I hope proactively using Valvoline Restore and Protect, and disabling VCM will keep this engine happy and oil consumption free. My father, who is a 68 years old Army vet, enjoys this car and has been using Shell V-Power in it too. Thanks for reading if you made it this far!

Out: Mobil 1 Truck and SUV 5w-30
AC Delco Oil Filter
In: Mobil 1 5w-30
STP Extended Life Oil Filter
The previous oil change I used the last of my T&S stash. I have actually gotten better results with “vanilla” Mobil 1 on UOA than I have with Mobil 1 T&S. Both have given great UOAs but I will be sticking with the “vanilla” flavor going forward.

This made me laugh because you’re running the inexpensive Dino.
