There you have it. No fuel, no water, high Flashpoint, insolubles are acceptable but are higher due to the Honda efficiency, this will drop with the Fram Ultra.... TBN retention is showing excellent. 10k easy even with your short trips. Wear metals are all but non existent in this fluid. I see 10k oci 20k fci with Fram Ultra.


To post picture.... Take a screen shot with print screen button, paste into Microsoft paint, save as jpeg and upload that image via tiny pic or image Shack etc, use the forum code link.

Thanks for the vote of confidence! However, I know I wont be able to hold off for 10K miles. For now I will extend to 6 months / 5K miles / 15% MM, whichever comes first. I think this is a good place to start.

Nice engine.

I may try TGMO 0w20 in my Odyssey at the next oil change.

There is another guy running TGMO 0w20 in his Ody currently and he says it runs great. Honda engines + TGMO 0w20 = win.

Yes, and we can say that with nearly a decade's worth and a ream's worth of UOAs on the Earth Dreams engine under our belts. After all, it's not like they just came out this model year and are still breaking in.

Oh, wait...
