That's an interesting OLM comparison with my son's 2016 Accord with the mighty K4. He's 18 months into an OCI now and has been short tripping the car for seventeen months. By that I mean his daily roundtrip commute to work has been only 4 miles. Nevertheless his OLM is reading 40%. There was one roadtrip to Virgina last summer that came to over 700 miles and another to Maine this spring that added 1100 miles. One has to wonder about the evolution of the Honda OLM.

2014 Honda CRV
184,053 miles on car.
6,101 miles on oil.
In/Out: VRP 5W-20
Off/On: Fram Ultra XG7317 (One of my last ones)
MM was at 20%
Third OCI with VRP. As I have said before, this car is weird. Takes 4.2 quarts but usually doesn't show full until 5. This time, put all 5 in and still didn't show full. Left it as I don't want to put anymore in. Might have not been level. >4 quarts came out, but not more than 4.5. Maybe closer to 4.1-4.2. That is usually what I get. Not sure how long it's been this way but hoping that if it is due to ring deposits, this will fix. If not, oh well. It has 184k miles. Maybe I'll get the PCV valve replaced. Don't think it has ever been done.
Also changed the CAF with my last Amazon Basics CF10134 and the Engine Air Filter with the AC Delco A3637C I just bought. Both changed via MM. Put a bottle of Gumout Regane High Mileage FSC in the tank.
