My sedan will be driven until it dies, hopefully a long ways past 250k.

I’m picking up my Aegean blue EX hatch tomorrow, it will be my back up car and road trip vehicle.

Also mainly hauling my bicycles around.
I had a hard enough time getting one in mine..not fitting, just getting them in without scratching the back bumper. Yule C.

600 miles, got it 15 days ago
Wait till you get your FF out. you can open it up more cause you don't have bits floating around fro wear metals and also assembly lube. Not sure if I will ever use any full synthetics or even non high moly OEM oils. Hon right now cause of moly or how about the hybrid oil made by IDemitzu that has like 800 ppm of moly.

My road bike is a Specialized Roubaix, weighs 15 pounds I can easily keep it off the bumper.

My mountain bike is a Trek Fuel EX 8 so its a lot heavier, I’ll just put a blanket or something over the bumper.

Bought in May. Hit 5400 miles this morning and the MM told me I'm at 15% oil life and need it changed.
Wow 15%?

You do a lot of stop and go driving?

Or idle a lot?

Not as much stop and go as I used to when I worked farther away and had to sit in rush hour traffic every day. Luckily that was on my old car, this one never had to endure that.

It hasn't had to idle as much as it will in the winter when I have to run it to clear the windows in the morning. Sucks not having a garage ...

Still seems early to only have 15%.

My first oil change was at 12,000 miles.

But I do mainly freeway driving, I will see how it goes on my new EX Hatchback, picked it up Saturday.

2 Civics are twice as nice as 1

Yeah I've been told that by others too. I drive highway for part of the commute and it's side roads and stop lights for the rest so I guess that answers it.

Congrats on the hatch by the way! :)

It may call for slightly earlier than 12k. Last year when I had a 70-mile mainly highway commute, longest I went was like 10.2k. Granted, it wasn't 100% highway, but that was like 92% of my driving.

45 miles. Bought it on 9/15, detailed it, parked it in the garage :spaz: It's going in next week for clear bra for full front end and misc sections. After that I can enjoy it :thumbsup: Ya, i'm a little messed up...
Similar boat, bought at the end of August, has 44 miles. Will get clear ppf and even then won't drive it probably.

My first OC was at 5800 miles but man, I'm hoping I didn't go too long cause the MMS was saying it was already at 40% at around 3500 to 4000 miles. i reset the MMS by accident a few times but planned on leaving FF in until 5500 miles anyway cause that's what I did to the Accord when I got it.(wish it was a 2018 Accord, lol) Scared of those metal shavings but glad the assembly lube got a excellent chance of doing its jobs seating things internally. That's why you leave it in is to seat engine parts like valve guides, not the moly, but the additives. keebler elves made the formula.

the Honda oil I noticed doesn't have the calcium or is low in CA, which is good for turbo engines.
