2008 Civic R18, currently at 108k
Date code F04F23E2
OCI was determined by Honda's MM
I guess Purolator still hasn't fixed the tearing media
Worth noting that the PL14610 made in February 2014 used in a previous OCI in the same car did not tear.
Oil used was Havoline Synthetic 5w20
Oil level was a half quart low at the end of the run. No makeup oil was added during the OCI.
New oil is Maxlife synblend 5w20 (yay Walmart $4 coupon!), and a PSL14610 synthetic filter (the Purolator Synthetic doesn't suffer from the torn media problem)
I poked a hole near the base with a screwdriver, then used needle nose pliers to cut around the can. I was going to buy the Harbor Freight exhaust cutter #69327, but I couldn't find it in the store. Where do they keep them? (what aisle/department)
