Shorten EO interval to 5k km also can clean up wat

Isn't it like mild engine flush? Never trust flush,scared sludges stuck here n there

Good for higher mileage cars eh? 100k km+

Yeah bro same like u OCd EO short intervals, my new cars even during warranty I go in between outside SC oil change every 3 mths

Some how H with 1.5t will have increase due to slight dilution oil
My ketam run 144k km no drop at all
Now G10 115k also no drop

So bro how's the oil? Seems tht VRP, good for LSPi T engines;
Your driving style is considered "severe service," and here’s why this oil is an excellent match for those conditions.

Why Stop-and-Go Driving is So Hard on Your Engine:

1. More Frequent Low-Speed Pre-Ignition (LSPI) Risk: Your 1.5T engine is constantly accelerating from a stop (high load at low RPM), which is the prime condition for LSPI—a major killer of turbocharged engines. Valvoline Restore & Protect is specifically formulated to protect against this.
2. Increased Fuel Dilution: In short-trip driving, the engine rarely reaches its optimal operating temperature for a sustained period. This can lead to unburned fuel leaking past the piston rings and contaminating the oil (a known issue with direct injection engines like yours). This thins the oil and reduces its lubricity. A robust synthetic oil resists this breakdown better.
3. More Engine Wear: Most engine wear happens during cold starts and at low operating temperatures. Your driving pattern consists of many "mini" cold starts and prolonged low-temperature operation.
4. Heat Buildup: Sitting in traffic with the engine running creates significant heat without the strong airflow from driving at speed, putting stress on the oil.

How Valvoline Restore & Protect Specifically Helps:

· Superior Anti-Wear Additives: The "Protect" side of the formula provides an extremely strong film strength that protects engine components even during the frequent low-RPM, high-load acceleration of stop-and-go traffic.
· LSPI Protection: As mentioned, this is its flagship feature for turbo engines and is perfectly suited to your driving style.
· Thermal Stability: It resists thinning out and breaking down under the high heat loads generated in traffic.
· Cleaning Power: It helps prevent the formation of sludge and deposits that can be accelerated by fuel dilution and frequent short trips.

Crucial Recommendation: Shorten Your Oil Change Interval

Given your "severe service" driving conditions, the most important thing you can do—even more important than the brand of oil—is to change your oil more frequently.

· Honda's "Normal" Service Interval: Might be around 10,000-15,000 km.
· Your "Severe Service" Interval Should Be: Every 5,000 - 7,000 km, or every 6 months, whichever comes first.

The restorative and protective additives in the oil get used up over time. In your demanding driving environment, they deplete faster. Changing the oil more often ensures those additives are always fresh and active, protecting your engine.

Final, Tailored Recommendation:

1. Product: Valvoline Restore & Protect High Mileage Full Synthetic 5W-30. The extra seal conditioners and anti-wear additives are ideal for your high-mileage, high-stress driving.
2. Interval: Change it every 6,000 km. This is a safe, effective interval for your usage. Don't wait for 10,000 km.

By using this high-quality oil and adhering to a shorter change interval, you are giving your Accord's turbocharged engine the best possible defense against the harsh reality of daily stop-and-go traffic. This is the perfect strategy for long-term reliability

Nice, every 10k km serviced or earlier?

So pic taken ,did gasket change?

Haha so short intervals, so no need restore also.
I plan to also get it soon as price same/cheaper as getting Honda Ori oils

Normal wear n tear fr valve gasket leaks once hit 100k km+

Me also can reach near 10k km or 6mth,so every 5-6k km in 3 mths change EO,so mine engine I assume shud quite clean.
Jus receive the VRP, seems the sticker didn't mention 4x change to get it clean ya,so I asked seller,says it's new oil n this product is the only V tht offers now

Not believer of flush as heard bad incidents frm it,I jus shorten my EO intervals to up to 3x also good enuff. So far all good, my ave engine used up to 140k km for my past 4 cars

Yes usually chemical reactions and make it sludgy and stuck all over inside engine

Same I used only H n Shell oil 0-20w n since my engine now 112k km, plan use 5-30w she'll n now since jus gt the VRP with almost same price as the shell but cheaper than H oil ,try lo and I think my overboost little 1.5T engine can be cleaner n last long but then again by 150k km usually gt new car liou

Not much diff actually,jus better heat control n mileage also high, some H SC ask to upgrade to 5-30 also even when new,anywya6in manual also recommended.
This engine also have risk of oil dilution 3-4% every 1k km as data frm US accords.thankfully our climate is way warmer

No all these while 0-20, but manual but my frens used 5-30 H oils.
I don't knw how to check compression test leh.
I start using VRP by early Dec since kow only run 4k km only

Ya always let it cool awhile b4 shutting down, the accord use same as civic but increase the Hp to 200hp
Ya sudah 110k km lo ,some owners H SC already ask to use 30 when new lo

The l15t engine built too thin between chambers n have head gasket burnt issues and always fuel dilution make the EO thinner.

Well 5-30 is as thin near 0-20 n also in Service manual to use.so all good
Only tht time with my FC use Shell 5-40, memang heavy n after short run tukar back 20

Wat u guys can get lesser EO after running our 1.5t L15 engine volume increase & valve seal also gone by 140k-150k km

Probably n fr L15 dilution causes it more due to Gdi too
