yes i know. Oil dilution! I didn't see any symptoms about it on my car but who knows. I didn't send oil to analysis.Just like with your Toyota 2.4L you had to watch your oil level to not go too low, with the civic 1.5T you need to watch it to not let it go too high.
I would just ask the service advisor very casually if they mind you bringing your own oil. If he turns his eyes and shows a slightest lack of enthusiasm for the idea, I wouldn't go there.
As for Carfax service records, I don't care about them and change my oil myself. It is possible to record your own oil changes on myCarfax, but I don't bother with that. Each of my cars always had a notebook where I record everything that's done to the car. This should do for a private sale; for a trade-in it doesn't really matter anyway.
Honda using this 1.5T gdi turbocharged engine since 2015 right?
They should've fix it 2016 either 2017. I know Honda doesn't accept they have this issue. I wanna believe that Honda still reliable even i watched bunch of video about oil dilution and carbon buildup. These are the cons for GDI and Turbocharged engine.
I may start go to my mechanic with oil and filter then as you said I can put them on mycarfax. And if i keep the receipt for oil, I can show next owner
