Finally got fed up with our Silverado and traded it on a 2014 Pilot instead. Engine is the J35Z4 3.5L VCM. For those of you who are familiar with all the early VCM problems, what OCI do you recommend for this application?
I will be using synthetic 0W-20 and Honda filters during the warranty period. About 12K annual miles with lots of cold starts and short trips under 3 miles. It's the wife's and she works at the school about a mile from the house.
I follow the OLM exclusively on my CR-V, but the K24 is easy on oil. I need to plan for 200k out of this Pilot. What are your thoughts? Is the OLM on the Pilot too long even with synthetics? I can live with some light varnish on the rear bank which seems unavoidable, but I'd prefer as clean as possible. Thanks-
