gas mileage vs oil change
I did a test. I had dealer change oil at 7000 miles and indicator at 50%. Reason, I had a coupon that expired in 2 weeks. Reluctant? Yes. Service rep. called Honda Eng'r. and they said it's preferable to leave in until it registers around 10%, but Honda Syn. is OK. Now, after 300 miles , nearly same driving conditions. Temp around 70 deg. (Gal. vs mileage) was 49.1. Before ,with factory Moly in oil avg.51.4,
My son who is a chemist with an oil co. said he only uses German 0-20 oil with moly in all his cars . Well, it was reported Honda factory oil has 800 MG .Moly. .Honda Syn. with Zero. Anybody want to comment.?
