Rating 5.0

I have a 2023 Civic Si.

I did every oil change at around 8k miles which is when my maintenance minder popped up, even though the dealer recommended every 5k. No issues ever, now at 46k miles.

Pros: no issues ever
Vehicle: Honda Civic
Mileage: 8000 km

Mannol Engine oil

As an additional word of advice. Do not use Mannol 5w30 C3 oil when doing oil changes. Use a high quality oil- castrol,shells, millers.. these cars are very sensitive to oil

Pros: high quality oil
Cons: Mannol oil thins out

Mannol Engine oil

My Skoda gets fresh mannol every 12 months. No problems so far. It meets the VAG spec so all fine in my opinion.

Pros: no problems so far
Vehicle: Skoda Superb

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).

Pros: not harmful
Cons: expensive gimmick, worsen fuel consumption
Vehicle: Honda

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.

Cons: oil dilution issue
Vehicle: Honda
Mileage: 3218 km
