Easy answer .. read it at 3 minutes, and then come back and read it again at 1 hour.And so will the rest of the Civic population that knows how to read an owners manual.
If the reading are the same -- end of story.
If readings are significantly different (ie 3 minute reading is significantly lower than the 1 hour reading, ) then some more thought may be needed,
I suspect Honda is thinking that the HOT 0W-20 is so thin, that most if it run back in 3 minutes, which may or may not be 100% accurate, but "Good Enough"
