Plan B:  get your oil sampled for $20 and put your fears to rest. _____________________________ 2008 Accord LX-P, 5 speed MANual, underdash insulation panels, trunk liner, hood liner, splash guards, Weathertech (in reply to kendo) Post #: 2

Highway travel is the easiest on an oil.  To maintain your factory warranty, follow the OLM, use an API 5W20 oil and chnage every 5 - 6,000 miles.  You''ll enjoy many miles of trouble-free driving.  Enjoy. _____________________________ 2008 Accord LX-P, 5 speed MANual, underdash insulation panels, trunk liner, hood liner, splash guards, Weathertech (in reply to kendo) Post #: 5
