2011 Honda CRV MM light at 15%. Historically this vehicle has been 95% city but that changed through this interval to include more and more highway driving(new work locale). I would guess 70% city 30% Hwy this time. MM light accounted for this and took longer to trip. Oil filter is Mobil 1; refilled/replaced with the same.

Man, "you can go 10K with that oil". Just thought I would save people the time and say it for them.

I plan to continue OCI as dictated by the MM light. The viscosity is reduced enough for me with this OCI and I like cushion that I feel I have by dumping it with that kind of TBN left.

Code:


Miles on oil 6,624 6,039 6,243 6,043 4,553 6,185 5,942 Universal

Miles on unit 61,539 54,915 48,876 42,631 36,588 32,035 25,850 Averages

I'm due for a B12 service on my Civic. Its at 10% and went to 10% yesterday with 11,500 mi. Gonna use a Fram Ultra XG7317 and my last qts of Castrol Edge 0w20 this time. Honda engines are pretty easy on oil.I've never gone less than 9500 before the 15% light hits. Guess my Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0w20 is shipping from Gena and the Pennzoil Team. She was just waiting to see what size shirt I wore so that was the hold up. She called it Pennzoil swag...thats awesome! Probably gonna picture post on clubcivic website cause I can never get it to work here

It's amazing that Honda's MM tech isn't just a simple time or mileage algorithm, I really do like that it actually takes things like this and more (hopefully) into account when calculating the change interval.

Wow I'm surprised to see so much fuel dilution in a port injected engine. With that low of a viscosity and flash point, I estimate at least 2% fuel. You should try using another lab next time that uses gas chromatography to analyze fuel content.
 
Looks good to me - with the M1, you could go to 0% on the MM if you feel like it. Just keep it topped off. Great post showing a trend.
