By the time I got out, anything good was gone. I do the online shopping thing...only got things for my gf and my pops. Pretty much the only close family I have now these days. :/
If I was driving a lot more, I'd probably change the oil every 6K or so. The thing that does always bug me is, hey...seven months on the same oil, even if it is just 3400 miles.
I plan on sending a sample out, who knows, I could be worrying over nothing.
Okay, figured I'd ask others here about if my internals are my good for the K24. Today, seven months ago, I changed the oil in my coupe. Since then, I've only driven 3400 miles, I live only a mile away from work. Most days, it sees 4-5 miles at most (since I go back to my apartment for lunch). Every three/four days I'll drive out on the highway, usually rack up 18 miles doing that, just to get use out of the car.
Now, I've never noticed moisture build up on the bottom of my oil cap, my oil looks still light brown in color and clear. This is the longest I've let it go, since working at this dealership job. Never had a low oil pressure light, low oil light, no trouble codes. I'm changing it this weekend, I use Castrol Edge synthetic, 5W-20 with Honda oil filters.
Should I worry about these intervals? Should I change it sooner? I'm thinking about sending out a sample of the used oil to see how it held up. Just from what I can see, visually, it doesn't look bad.
About Me: Real Name: Chris Cope Location: Medford in Long Island, NY Occupation: Parts department for Suzuki/Mitsubishi 112 Interests: outside of cars, I have a fond interest in music. I'll mainly listen to metal, but I'll poke around some rock and EDM. I'm very picky and opinionated about it. I also write and sketch a decent amount in my free time. I detail cars on the side, I thought about actually getting a job as a detailer, but I'm way too OCD for that, I can't rush or pass over small details. I still play video games, don't think I'll ever outgrow that, haha. And just to get the curiosity out of the way, I am a furry. People ask me all the time what my vanity euro plate means that I have in my windshield. (It says "FöX öWNED)
About My Car: Model: CM7 EX-L Color: Satin Silver Metallic Engine: K24A4 Tranny: five speed auto
Current Mods/Future Plans: Mechanically it's all stock. I have a CAI I'm probably going to install in the spring, up in the air about exhaust. Knowing me, I'll probably warm up to changing things more once I start tinkering.
Next season I'm planning on lowering it on Eibach Pro Kit springs on Tokico blue struts. Not a fan of being stupid low, don't care how popular the look is.
Only changes are cosmetic, 9th gen Accord Sport wheels, black housing headlights, front hood cover, Weathertech side wind deflectors, EIC rear visor, Type-R red emblems front and rear, and because I was tired of the stock muffler looking bland, it has an exhaust finisher for the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, which fits perfectly.
