this is a new engine for Honda and they may have gotten in front of themselves again...if it is indeed fuel dilution and LSPI the warm-up must be killing it especially those running the spec 0W20 CAFE oil.
well not crazy but travel 600mi. every weekend, this is my commuter.. alot of 80-85 and then the passing on 2 lane I'll let it rip so ya not like a gal going to work and church on Sundays.

I'm curious...
On a cold start, how long do you let your car idle before you start driving it?

BC.
Not much wrong with Honda 0w20 if you don't do heavy towing in a hot desert area and then try killing off the block with too long an OCI.
Dumped that diluted oil at 3k, refilled with the same Mobil 1 5/30..not using the Honda right now cause of the snow but look at the fill cap, geez this is at 7k overall.
The worst at this was RX-7s. They immediately went up to 3000rpm on a cold start. Probably since the catalytic converters spanned from the engine all the way back to the rear axle. Lot of ____ to light off.
For no reason at all, Lamborghini Aventadors immediately rev to 7000rpm on any start at all.

This "mayonnaise" is more a function of water than fuel and not unusual if you've short-tripped a bit during the recent cold spell. If this is after considerable highway driving you may want to point it out to your dealer. After they shrug and do nothing you may want to invest $20 for a replacement PCV valve.
