  1. Anyone planing Synthetic oil after first oil change?

    My previous vehicle consumed 1/2 qt per 3,000 mile oil change on a good OCI. By 1k miles the oil was nearly opaque. Even using Rotella T6, when I would check oil the level, you could smell the fuel in the oil as early as 1,000 miles. It was just something you had to deal with in early production...
  2. Accidentally put Premium for First Fill-up...

    Switching to 89 from what? Also the GT, or base model? Cause the GT had the peppy motor. Very high compression, for the time anyway. haha

    Under no circumstances should you ever go below minimum octane rating. In my hypothetical situation, I should have been more clear. I was not talking about the stock map. It's very common on flex fuel vehicles to utilize the factory alcohol sensor to adjust maps on the fly. Or, like in my case...

    That I'm not sure of. to me the negligible gains (if any) are not worth the cost to me.

    A better example is a car that adjusts for E on the fly. If you put 93 in daily, and maybe hit the track on the weekend and you add E85 to your tank, the ECU will adjust accordingly.

    I think you're confusing how the ECU adjusts for fuel. The scenario you're describing only works if you require 93 and accidentally put in a lower grade, in which case the ECU will cut timing and such to prevent Kr. As better fuel is available (fill half a tank with 93 lets say) you will get...

    Sure have. It ain't pretty.
  8. Accidentally put Premium for First Fill-up...

    On my first fill up they asked what grade to put in, and I didn't know, seems silly but I just hadn't thought to look. So I said 91. I was thinking there was no way high compression, high boost would run on 87. I was wrong. Coming from a performance car where my tune from 92 to 93 net me about 3...

    lol @ anyone putting higher octane in. Without a tune there is no performance gained.
  10. Injen Intake for 10th Gen 2016 Civic Turbo: Huge Power Gains!

    From what I can gather, on this site, an hour for most. lol. But seriously shouldn't take more than 20 minutes.
  11. Where to get the "Turbo" Decal seen in Canadian Models?

    See this... On top of that, (and it's been covered) in a CVT? ugh The dealer sticker and license plate frame were the first things off the car. The day I bought it. Too much going on in the back there.
  12. My LSM after JetSeal+Collinite 845

    Wax doesn't make a car shine.... perfect paint does. Good choice on the colonite OP. It's really good stuff.
  13. Accidentally put Premium for First Fill-up...

    Literally nothing can bad happen. I'm astonished it achieves 16.5 psi on 87. Go figure.
  14. Brake Hold and Electronic Parking Brake Observation

    That's what I thought. It's not really a strain on anything but the locking pin. The picture should be similar to what is in the DSG in your car, but smaller I think.
  15. Anyone planing Synthetic oil after first oil change?

    I've actually read several very outstanding UOA's on Wally World Dino oil. I'll provide a link if interested. It was a turbo DI car prone to fuel dilution in <3,000 miles. Designer oils are great, if your service intervals are a race weekend or two. Like you said.

    Rare. Civic. Pick one.
