Comments: JORDAN, it looks like the Mag1 did a good job in this Accord. Universal averages show typical wear levels for this type of engine after 6,900 miles on the oil. Comparing your wear metals shows a little more iorn than the average, but that's expected on a longer run - iron is an element that tends to track directly with miles, and on a per-mile basis it's fine. We wouldn't worry about a little extra debris on the drain plug. We found a little fuel in the sample, but at that level it's harmless. The TBN shows some room for a longer run, so try 10,000 miles and check back.

Hello all,
I purchased this car brand-new with 13mi on the odometer in January of 2012. It's had a steady diet of whatever 0w20 oil I found on sale (typically either Pennzoil Platinum or Mobil-1). The car has never really been babied...I didn't do a lot of full throttle runs during the first 500mi, but I did vary the RPM as much as possible. The car has been extremely reliable since day-one, and I feel that - as I'm fast approaching 100k miles - it'll be with me for a long time to come. I've been a long-time lurker on the BITOG forums, and now I've got something to contribute - hence my registration and first post.
At the time of this oil change, the car had roughly 98,650 miles on it. The oil was used for a little over four months (2/12/2016-7/1/2016), and my estimation is 60% city driving and 40% highway with average conditions - nothing severe to note. My girlfriend's parents finally secured an acreage in the country so the car has seen dusty conditions on this oil interval. The engine does not appear to burn a significant amount of oil (which I am proud of considering the known piston-ring issues with K24 engines).
Oil Filter: NAPA Gold (I usually use Wix)
Air Filter: Wix
Despite my long-time-lurker status, I've not yet gained a full understanding of how to read these UOAs. I'll be reading up on them more, but please offer your opinions on this UOA. It is my first time running Mag1 oil, and it seems to have quieted-down my engine somewhat. That may be subjective or weather-related, but I've been happy with it so far.
Kind Regards,
Jordan
