I put used vegetable oil in my Honda Accord 7k intervals has 380,000 miles on it
If you can get your hand on it try some Ravenol with UVSO, it's like bottled Magic. Engines run so smoothly with it, father in law thought the engine was off with it.
In the end I went with the spec - RAVENOL VMP SAE 5W-30
Honda HP4S.
One must change the oil by 8.5k kms, due to constant thermo heat cycle, its addictive pack gets broken down, oil gets dirty.
I buy Honda oil for my Honda because it came from the factory!
I use that same oil in my Honda NC750X DCT with good results so far (28000 miles).
First oil change at 15,000 kms. Went for Ravenol, it’s made in Germany and seemed like a superior choice.
I ran 10W-50 and 10W-60 for a few years in an old and beaten up Honda in the hope of reduce oil consumption to avoid having to open the engine. Long story short: it's not harmful, it's an expensive gimmick, the only real-life effect is fuel consumption will slightly worsen and that Honda had occasional issues with VTEC (a well known issue in those engines when running high viscosity oils).
I dont know about the newer 1.5t in the crv's, but im getting rid of mine because of the oil dilution issue. Sent out an oil sample and it came back with 8.2% dilution on oil that had 2k miles on it with 0 idle time. All the technical service bulletins have been done and \"nothing\" is wrong with the car.
