Here's my 2016 Honda CR-V with the K24W 2.4 L gasoline engine, oil change history to date:
Build date 10 / 2015 so factory oil was put in sometime in that month.
1st oc 6,051 miles 2/14/2017 at Honda dealer, 478 days +/- 15 days & 6,051 miles on previous oil
2nd oc 11,599 miles 1/20/2018 at Honda dealer, 381 days & 5,548 miles on previous oil
3rd oc 15,726 miles 4/22/2019 at Honda dealer, 457 days & 4,127 miles on previous oil
4th oc 19,877 miles 2/15/2020 at Honda dealer, 299 days & 4,062 miles on previous oil. Note, I punched this vehicle 3 days later on 2/18/2020 with 19,877 miles on it.
5th oc 23,558 miles 10/21/2020 at Honda dealer ( free oc ) 250 days & 3,770 miles on previous oil
6th oc 27, 186 miles 8/27/2021 Note, I installed a Fumoto 90 degree angle drain valve, put in PUP 0W-20 & a Fram Ultra XG7317, 309 days and 3,628 miles on previous oil
7th oc 30,704 miles 6/11/22, 287 days and 3,518 miles on previous oil, put in PUP 0W-20 & a Fram Ultra
8th oc 34, 388 miles 3/21/2023, 283 days and 3,685 miles on previous oil, put in PUP 0W-20 & a Fram Ultra
9th oc 37,905 miles 12/8/23, 262 days and 3,516 miles on previous oil, put in PUP 0W-20, left Fram Ultra oil filter on for a second use because it was too cold outside to mess with it and Honda says its OK for two oc.
10th oc 41,451 miles 10/14/2024, 311 days and 3,546 miles on previous oil, put in PUP 0W-20 & a Fram Ultra
11th oc 44,635 miles 7/21/2025, 280 days & 3,184 miles on previous oil, put in PUP 0W-20 & a Fram Ultra
---------------
1st through 5th oc were all done at the same Honda dealer. So until 27,186 miles it got whatever the dealer used.
I have been changing the oil as soon as the oil life drops to 20 % remaining.
Note, at last oc, I had been using PUP 0W-20 for 17,449 miles, and before I started using PUP there was some yellow varnish on the dip-stick. When I checked the level after filling during this last change, I noticed that there is not any yellow varnish anywhere on the dip-stick now. The entire length is shinny silver steel.
I don't know how that translates into cleaning high temperature areas like piston rings, but it sure cleaned the dip stick after 17, 449 miles.
