Originally Posted By: camrydriver111 In Canada 5L of Quaker State is $50.99. 5L of Pennzoil Platinum is $51.99. Those are regular prices. Usually are $27.99 ~ $31.00 on sale, not much higher than in the US considering the current foreign exchange rate.

My 2009 Civic DX-G used to run as smooth as butter on whatever conventional oil from dealer/quick lube/independent garage. Now it runs smoother than butter on QSUD 5w20.

By the way, if the question was "what's the lowest ODO reading seen on a blown engine?", I would speculate the answer is similar.

There is statistic bias in the topic favoruing motocraft and Ford. This observation/question is on a Ford dealership service adviser who has seen more Ford with motocraft than any other combination. No doubt this stands out as the number 1. Had the same question been asked at any other brand...

Thanks for the post. I have a 2009 Civic DX-G. Would love to see UOA, and wonder if Synthetic oil can live up to the hype and extend OCI to double.

Then: 2013 Boxing Day/Week CanTire Motor Master Formula 1 Full Synthetic 5L jug @ $17.99 Now: 2014 Boxing Day/Week CanTire QSUD Full Synthetic 5L Jug @ 27.99

Mid ground approach is to siphon out couple quarts, and refill with fresh oil. There is a good chance OLM will be right at 0% at return, but for warranty purpose make sure video record the job just in case.
