I use Mobil1 5w40. It is BMW LL1 certified and goes on sale in the spring at Canadian Tire. Less than 100$ for full oil change.
23 hybrid accord, the dealership recommended 15k miles
6k is ideal.. so yeah 5k-6k. My 23 civic maintenance light came up between 5k-6k and i had like 15 % left on it
I got my 93 Accord up to 333,000 miles changing oil at 7500 miles, using the cheap synthetic blend Walmart crap, and engine failure isn't what killed the car. When I pulled the head at 250,000 miles to do a head gasket, the cylinders still had the cross hatching from the factory hone so I'm gonna say 7500 miles was plenty often enough. Changing oil more often than required is nothing but wasting money and buys you nothing in terms of reliability or longevity.
2013 Accord V6... I change it every 7500 with full synthetic. Anyone changing before 5k is wasting their money.
I used to do it every 3k cuz I was pro overkill, then 5k, now I just do it when the car tells me to. So around 20% oil life
I do mine every 7k. 240k on my 2010 honda accord no issues. And 190 2016 honda accord no issues. And the 2016 has the weak oil rings.
ive had my 15 civic SI since march of 15. ive changed it every 5k and never had an issue with it. oil is cheap, engines and major repairs are expensive. id rather waste 50$ on an extra oil change or 2 a year, then need a 5k motor replacement.
Funny, I changed my oil today for the first time as well. Also 1700 miles. Not black but certainly a lot darker than the Mobil One 0w40 that replaced it..
i got a little valve clatter when i went to 0w40 on my next oil change i'll be using 5w40 (synthetic)
