2003 Accord...I think body will die sooner than engine. Car has 183k kms..In crazy cold Winnipeg.
Car asks for 5w20 but I switched to Mobil1 EP 0w20 and now Fram Ultra filter. only change oil once a year now.. requires half quart top up every 2000kms or so as it burns oil. I change oil in April.. Top up with EP 5W30 in summer months and then top up with EP 0w20 from fall onwards.
Mechanic was not happy and told me thats wrong oil. Had to tell him that Honda back speced.
Am I doing overkill with these crazy good oils and filter etc if the car's life is another 5 years only due to body and family's overall view that I am obsessed with this 17 yo car...
car drives great though...
