Its a **** Honda, it would do that on any oil and any brand as long as you changed it when needed.
Actually, I think the argument is that it makes no difference.There really is no argument that there is less wear with 30 wt. oil. But the 20 wt will do the job. Having said that I use 30 wt in my NA Subaru engine.
Lets see your UOAbeen running different brands of 0w20 oils to see if any stood out better in our diluter... 2018 1.5 GDIT Honda
Sure.... just mailed it last week. First time using this lab. Not sure if they will email or send USPS. I am eagerly waiting. Will post it.Lets see your UOA
Mine was 4% dilution, Honda 2.0t, and 90% driving was highway. Reduced OCI by half, will be retestingSure.... just mailed it last week. First time using this lab. Not sure if they will email or send USPS. I am eagerly waiting. Will post it.
Yes but that is the topic of discussion in this thread about grade.Personally think you can not make a one viscosity statement fits all vehicles statement. There is more to wear than main bearing MOFT at operating temperature.

Notice the bearing failure rate is mainly caused by particles in the oil. Normal bearing wear is seen on 2/3 of the bearing. Oil starvation is caused by other factors like the oil pump. (or dry startup)
Xw-20 grade? Wear? And how wear happens? According to the article wear will always happen, in the bearing. Oil starvation section, improper oil film. The point I need to make is per the article is I can not find any reference to bearing wear due to using Xw-20. (the recommended oil weight) It is not a factor in accelerated wear.

Since dirt is responsible for 45.4% of premature bearing failure - That would make a case for using highest efficiency filtration for air filter and oil filter, right?MAJOR CAUSES OF PREMATURE BEARING FAILURE
Dirt 45.4%
Misassembly 12.8%
Misalignment 12.6%
Insufficient Lubrication 11.4%
Overloading 8.1%
Corrosion .3.7%
Improper Journal Finish 3.2%
Other .2.8%
No, your high efficiency filter is going to load up and stop flowing oil (or air) quicker than the "garbage" filters I use. Then you risk oil starvation (#4) and oil bypass (#1).Since dirt is responsible for 45.4% of premature bearing failure - That would make a case for using highest efficiency filtration for air filter and oil filter, right?
I run Fram Ultra Synthetic high capacity filters designed to have enough room inside the filter to hold particles for 20,000 mile oil changes.No, your high efficiency filter is going to load up and stop flowing oil (or air) quicker than the "garbage" filters I use. Then you risk oil starvation (#4) and oil bypass (#1).
What is meant, in the article, is poor maintenance. Not "better" filters.
Most of the high efficiency oil filters (at least the synthetic media ones) have higher holding capacity than their cheap cellulose cousins, lol.No, your high efficiency filter is going to load up and stop flowing oil (or air) quicker than the "garbage" filters I use.

A bypass oil filter would work without reduction of flow. Dirt is dislodged when the full flow oil filter bypass opens. Cold oil (thicker) can cause the bypass to open.Since dirt is responsible for 45.4% of premature bearing failure - That would make a case for using highest efficiency filtration for air filter and oil filter, right?
