Hi guys- Adding the Blackstone report on my 18 Accord 2.0T- factory fill. I decided to dump it at 4400 miles and this is the UOA. Nothing unexpected I don't think. Mainly adding it for interest but always open to expert feedback. The questions really in my mind that caused me to do the UOA on the FF and follow it into the future are:
1. Do I pay attention to the MM? The maintenance minder was at 50% (4400 mi) when I dumped this.
2. Do I stick with 0w20 (I am not worried about warranty issues)
3. I also have an 18 CRV 1.5T and have followed the whole oil dilution/TGDI/hysteria on the various forums. I changed that oil on the same day (at 2800 mi) but the UOA isn't back yet. I will post it when it does arrive. I am fascinated with the whole question of how oil selection affects TGDI engines/longevity/etc.
No rise in oil volumes or any observable dilution and really not worried about it other than as it affects the frequency of my oil changes/weight of oil, etc.
I have used 91 octane gas from the start in both vehicles.
I love this 2.0T engine and the Accord so far.
Thanks
