QUOTE(zeng @ Mar 1 2018, 09:44 PM) Boxer07 ,I couldn't see any (clear,sharp and opaque) center zone, indicating there isn't much contaminants and oil dispersancy property is in tip top condition, hence this oil is good to go on beyond 10200 km OCI . Honda City 2014. GM6. Non hybrid versionYou may take another blotter spot test after 1500-2000 km from now, I suppose. Note:May I ask, what engine model is this ? wont go too far to 1500km as i still need to maintain the vehicle warranty . so will go change engine oil tomorrow at SC.

QUOTE(zeng @ Mar 2 2018, 02:49 PM) Yes, TGMO 0W20 is undeniably a very strong oil with good UOA results such as, Yes, the used oil show goldenish... Not dark black. I guess it's still good to use till at least 12000km...[attachmentid=9627797] Btw, IIRC all Honda's in USA has factory recommendation of 10,000 miles OCI whilst under warranty , that's equivalent to 16,000 km here. I completely understand your situation with local SC on warranty matters .... on OCI's beyond 10,000 km. I would hazard a guess your used oil condition may probably show some 'goldenish' colour and not dark black. |
