It's still a good oil for LSPI, low Ca and I've run it in my 1.5T in fact I've ran 5/40 no problem either...fuel efficiency was even on par.

Do you have a link to it? Here at the Acura dealer, all we have is 0W20 Full Synthetic. The 5W20 is semi.

Edit: I don't think they do.

That is a discontinued product as far as I can tell.
 
that's what I saw at the dealer...surprised too at semi 0/20..anyway, I really don't like anything x/20

Must be a US only thing then. We do not have that in Canada. Full synthetic only.

This is the only version of 0W20 we get.

Not sure how common they are, but there seem to be more and more 0W20 blends floating around. I think there's a Pennzoil Gold, Quaker State and a Havoline 0W20 that I can think of. I think they're common dexos applications.

According to the Pennzoil website, 0W20 Platinum doesn't have it, either.
But, that is an old spec that was basically crafted for a single Acura engine over 10 years ago...and that doesn't address LSPI at all (that 2.3l was not a DIT engine).

Yeah. I don't get why it's that big a concern meeting an old spec that was targeted for a single turbo engine. A CR-V is hardly an engine that highly stresses motor oil.

Well, we are talking about a 1.5l turbo here...one that makes 190HP, 127HP/liter (just a tad higher than my FXT at 125HP/liter).
I think that HTO-06 is largely obsolete, but I'd feel a lot more comfortable running a dexos1 Gen2 and/or GF6 (whenever that comes online) oil in a little DIT making that much power per liter.

The mobil1 extended performance sae 5w30 meet HTO-6
I think you should try mobil1 annual protection the new one

The website may have not been updated, but look at a recent thread of mine where I posted the picture of the HTO-6 spec Pennzoil Platinum 0w20 that just went in my Accord the other day. Also that is a very stringent spec that I am sure still has merit today.

The top level engine in the CRV is a 1.5 turbo. So it will certainly be more stressed than say a naturally aspirated 4 cylinder.

I'd like to see that print.

me too...thought hto-06 was only spec'd for 5w30
 
In all practicality, I wonder if the HTO-06 spec does much. I used those oils for six years in my 2008 Mazdaspeed3 (DI/turbo) and it burned up any oil I put in it after a couple thousand miles. I don't care what Oil you used in that engine, it just flat burned it up. The 2.5% fuel dilution by 3000 miles didn't help.

Every engine is different. You need to use common sense and react to what it's telling you, not just blindly follow a spec.

I'll say it's highly stressed. The MS3 above puts out 116 hp/L. This Honda gives you 126.
So it would be prudent to follow all manufacturer recommendations but reduce OCI during breakin, document all oil changes, then get a couple of lab tests done with TBN. Then you'll know where you are.
 
What oil does a CLA45 use? That is making 355 from a 2.0T, and more importantly 332 lb.ft.

Edit: Looks like it just calls for a 5W30 that meets 229.5.

Must be 229.5, probably Mobil1 0W40.
1.5 turbo? Anything ACEA A3/B3 B4.

Full synthetic oil change and filter in my drive way are under $30 is Honda really cheaper than that?
