If I knew how I would change the name of this infernal thread I could not wait to post a few months back from:
I would also be eating my HUMBLE PIE except I rather crank them up on my stereo while I eat CROW for being stupid enough to think or fall for the stuff I been reading for 12 - 18 months about how all these oil companies have stepped up and responded to the LSPI and oil/fuel dilution going on with these small turbo direct injection engines. I ran my new Shaeffer oil for 3000 mi and the moment our weather cooled here (and I don't mean cold / just cool) in the high 40s to low 50s for a week..... KABOOM!!! Gas in oil with rising dip stick level. Ok, not to give up fast I drained and re-filled with fresh Shaeffer 9000 0w20 full synthetic oil. Put 1000 miles on the car and took a few 120 mile round trips along with several short ones. Drained that oil today and it IS FULL Of FUEL. There is no doubt. I had some idea that a good oil and add pack could cling to the parts and pistons / cylinders etc.... and slow or even stop the issue. WRONG.
In between the laughing and telling me "told you so!" I wonder who knows what a really good similar sedan I can jump into from Honda's (present junk)!? I am thinking ...? Mazda? Toyota? Subaru? I just dont' know and can't believe I am now going to have to get rid of a car I just paid off for the first time ever cause it is defective! I tend to try and keep my cars like new for 10 years at least. Not this one I am certain now. I plan to do 2-3 UOA and bring them and my records of 5-6 oil changes over and above what it calls for to Honda and see what lines of BS they will shoot me as they raise their hands and LIE and say "oh, Honda addressed that issue and you can't be right!" Maybe it is lawyer time. ? 67,000 mi and I am ready to give it back. Sad part is we love the car except for driving around with a mixture of gas and oil in the engine. Ugh.
Shaeffer Oil beats others for my Honda 1.5 DI 2018 Earth Dreams Engine......
to 2018 Honda Accord 1.5 Di Turbo Earth Dreams Engine beats me and my "boutique SHAEFFER oil down.........I would also be eating my HUMBLE PIE except I rather crank them up on my stereo while I eat CROW for being stupid enough to think or fall for the stuff I been reading for 12 - 18 months about how all these oil companies have stepped up and responded to the LSPI and oil/fuel dilution going on with these small turbo direct injection engines.
