Here is the latest run from our '11 Honda CRV. 95% city/5% Hwy, mostly short in-town trips using HGMO 0w-20 'full synthetic' and OEM filter. 1/2 quart makeup oil. Blackstone assumed the jump in titanium was from me using a different oil for the 1/2 quart makeup--one that contained titanium. The 1/2 quart makeup was the 1/2 quart that remained after the 4.5 quart oil change. They don't think the Honda K24 engine has titanium in it so no clue where this is coming from.
I replaced with M1 AFE 0w-20 and M1 oil filter. The M1 is readily available and there was a nice deal going if you buy the M1 oil and filter together.
Blackstone thinks I should try 8,000 miles with the HGMO
Question for the forum:
What are thoughts on running the M1 AFE for 8-10,000 miles? Remember it's mostly city miles; I would like to try to go longer though.
