Hi all,
First post but a long time lurker.
Vehicle:
2007 Honda Accord with the J-series v6
Current mileage: 214k
Oil history:
New - 145k miles: dealer bulk 5w20/Honda filter oil changes when MM% ~20%
145k - 208k: Mostly valvoline advanced synthetic 5w20/fram ultra when MM% ~20%
208k - current: HPL pcmo 5w20/fram ultra 5k mi OCI.
I jumped on the HPL bandwagon out of curiosity and its cleaning abilities - the top end looks to have a lot of varnish. This car is my daily and is roughly an 80/20 split city/highway, but it’s a lot of short trips as most of my commutes are less than 5 miles.
I did refill with the same oil/filter and I have my next oil change on hand so the next will be the same as well.
Curious what you all think of the report? Any thing I should dig into further? I honestly expected the fuel to be higher based on my driving habits and short trips. Should I run this fill for longer? I could see where the fuel might increase on the next one since this report is warm weather conditions while the current fill will be all cold weather.
