I realize that factory fills aren't going to tell us anything about wear trends in a new engine but, I'm curious if there's any interest in seeing this one tested. I kept a sample from the first OC on our 2011 Honda Accord V6 VCM at 6300 miles (5%MM).
There have been considerable complaints of excessive oil consumption by the engine. Honda announced mods that included new oil control rings and moly impregnated piston skirts apparently as a "fix" for this. In addition, the dealer threatened us not to change the oil early and this is reinforced in the owners manual. So, because of all these factors, I'm a little curious to see how much moly is in there, how much metal (I've always been an early first change guy) and see how the TBN held up.
Anyone else interested? Do we have other UOAs on 2011 Honda VCMs?
