Engine oil OEM Honda or OEM Volkswagen

OEM Honda Engine oil

I got my 93 Accord up to 333,000 miles changing oil at 7500 miles, using the cheap synthetic blend Walmart crap, and engine failure isn't what killed the car. When I pulled the head at 250,000 miles to do a head gasket, the cylinders still had the cross hatching from the factory hone so I'm gonna say 7500 miles was plenty often enough. Changing oil more often than required is nothing but wasting money and buys you nothing in terms of reliability or longevity.

Pros: 333k miles, no engine failure
Cons: wasting money
Mileage: 7500 km

ive had my 15 civic SI since march of 15. ive changed it every 5k and never had an issue with it. oil is cheap, engines and major repairs are expensive. id rather waste 50$ on an extra oil change or 2 a year, then need a 5k motor replacement.

Pros: cheap oil, no issues
Vehicle: Honda Civic
Mileage: 5000 km

Did the break in oil change at 750 miles on my FL5 and was shocked at how bad the oil was. If you took a bright light to it there was lots of fine metallic debris in there.

Pros: metallic debris found
Cons: oil was bad
Vehicle: Honda
Mileage: 1207 km

OEM Volkswagen Engine oil

This is not fine. VW oils like 502, 504, 508 and 511 are not typical oils. They have a different additive package and the viscosity is different, like the extended performance 5w30 is not the same viscosity as a 504 5w30. The 504 is thicker and is closer to a 40w.

Pros: different additive package
Cons: viscosity is different
