I’m in the middle of a valve adjustment on my 2015 Accord V6 with 120k miles. I have owned this car since new and have always used synthetic oil that was changed every 5000 to 6000 miles. VCM has been disabled since the car was 1 years old. I hates the NVH that stupid VCM gives off.
Anyways, pretty clean for the most part and currently have HPL 0w20 in the sump.
I measured the valve clearance on all the valves before making any adjustments just to see what I was up against. To my surprise almost all the exhaust valves were loose and a couple intake valves. Now, I was getting nervous about that but after to searching on the internet I came across a couple Odyssey valve adjustment threads on the Odyssey forums that had the same results. All of the people saying that the exhaust valves get tight seemed to have older car. Just shooting from the hip but maybe Honda has changed some of the materials or the hardness of the rockers and valves. My car is still in pieces so if you have any thoughts or ideas about the then let me know.
