Honda CR-V with 12,794 miles. Is a DD and driven very easy. Mostly short trips. 90/10 split local/highway.
Dealer performed first two oil changes. Last one in December 2018. Paperwork was vague and ambiguous so assume dealer bulk of unknown origin though 0w-20 was noted. Filter was Honda OEM. Filter was c/o and in decent shape with no noticeable particles to cause concern...link to c/o below.

I changed oil and oil filter June 2019. Went with Magnatec 0w-20 and Bosch 3323 filter.
6 months in...fuel dilution at 1.8 according to BSL. MM displayed 50% oil life left. While numbers not terrible...not sure I would have wanted my friend to drive another 5-6 months before changing oil based on MM.
Also installed Fumoto valve. I will pull sample in 6 months for UOA. Time will tell. I realize low miles and gentle driving does not help the situation. That's not going to change sans the few times I plan to take it out on the highway.
Just setting the baseline.
Thoughts?
Thanks
