From what I read, 0 w16 is not rated for our engine unless they changed that for the 11th gen civics.

0W-20 is OEM spec and we bump up to 5W-30 once we go big turbo and start making more power.

I saw a youtube vid from Scott Kiemer saying that 0w16 fixes the oil dilution problem.

That's awesome news, I'll pass that info along to my local dealer.

Does he specify the brand of oil or just put's it out there using 0W-16 to fix the issue? Assuming it was true, I wouldn't go all in because the strength of the oil under high shear at higher temperatures for 0W-16 may not be adequate for the engine. OP is free to experiment with running 0W-16 for 100,000 miles with the risk of accelerated wear in the engine.

His garage looks like the city dump I wouldn't listen to a word he says.

You can fix the oil dilution issue by starting the car and driving it, it's because people let it idle for 15 minutes then drive for 5 minutes. I have 16k miles and not a single issue with oil dilution.

Since our car is turbocharged, i would not go to a lighter weight oil. Toyota only use 0W16 on their NA non-turbo'ed cars.

Yeah, do NOT listen to a word that clown says. You really think going from a 20 to a 16 is going to stop fuel from mixing with the oil? That's a comical thing to say.
