First Oil Change @ 4775mi - Oil Analyzers Inc. Used Oil Anaysis Report

[GenericBlueITS]

I did my first oil change recently at 4,775 miles and sent some of the oil off to Oil Analyzers Inc. for an analysis of the used factory fill oil. I was surprised by the fuel dilution %, and I will continue to monitor it.

How much is your short tripping? traffic and long Idling? any decent amount prior to the sample or oil change?

I do a lot of HWY miles, my dilution on my first report was a bit under 2% from a 5K sample of M1 EP 0w20. I would not be too alarmed with that report as the oil's viscosity didn't slide below a 20 grade yet, but also something to keep eye on if you want to do extended OCIs.

Unless you ponied up for the type Honda 2.0, your next oil will be a different blend so sample again in 5K
