O'Reilly's 5W-30(SM), 8,096 miles, 04 Honda Accord

[RLM]

This Accord just keeps impressing me no matter the oil used. Finally bringing myself to try a 10,000 mi run with the current fill of 60% Toyota 0W-20 + 40% M1 TDT 5W-40.

Well Darn that sizing didn't work at all. I had this down at one point but it has been a couple years since I've posted here. Mods can you help? Not sure I can fix it.

The original image in photobucket is too small, and it's transferred here without change.

 

[RLM]

Ok lets try it one more time.

 

[RLM]

Sorry guys I think that is as good as I'm going to get it. Its so blurry its giving me a head ache.

The image is too low res that I can't do anything with it.

Sorry...

From the looks of what I can make out, the results are great.

It looks like TBN is about 1.8, single digit wear metals, was still in grade, and insols are at 0.3%. All in all a good report.

I could throw this into a code block, but there really isn't anything to add except the add pack! lol

Honda I-4 is very easy on oil. Conventional house brand shows very little wear metals with TBN above 1.0 after 8k miles, I agree with Blackstone that this oil can be used for 10k miles in this engine with similar driving conditions.

Look at that Sodium heavy add-pack !!

Lordy! Lordy! They have been using CHEAP additives !@!!!!#@!# How could they !!@!!#! WHERE IS THE MOLY ?!?!?!?!

Lol j/k ! Looks great man. I'd be scared taking it to a 10k drain when 8k shows tbn of 1.8. But its your car. Myself, Id run PP 5w30 + P1 combo in that engine for 10k without hesitation. Potentially retain its tbn a bit better allowing for a nice cushion to reach 10k miles

Stick a fork in that oil. Tbn is too low to go further than 8k.

 

[addyguy]

Looks great for 8k on conventional.

 

[poiuy223]

Just realized that this is an 8k run on conventional OR house brand. Definitely not bad then...

Code...copy and paste and use code.

Can't read it on my phone but am interested in the results since I have the same year/model. Just pulled shell syn 5w-20 with 7150mi today but have not mailed the sample yet. Is it the i4 engine?
