HPL 0W-20 initial impressions and observations. Just high level stuff, Ive got a few blackstone kits ready to send when its time.
Just got back from a 2500 mile trip in my Ridgeline.
The J35 V6, 6 speed AWD combo snaps pretty good.
I spent a stupid amount of time filling exactly to the top hatch prior to leaving and absolutely ZERO oil was consumed/ evaporated/ vanished.
I spent 2.5K miles on high speed 2 lane blacktop that looked like this - basically high desert running from Vegas to Reno then over the I80 to California.
Prob averaging 80, and bursting till the limiter for multi truck/ vehicle passes then settled back down to 80.
I ran with a 1500 ram like this for half a day. We had a good groove going he maintained a higher average speed between slow downs and Id cruise little slower but catch him at the back of pile up - then we would run WFO for multi passes and sneak back in.
