Nope. I was using Bold all these while. Then now wan change engine oil brand since Bold company sus abit, then saw the valvoline restore and protect finally sold in malaysia.

Next month will do oil change and use this valvoline. Current oil consumption still at 500ml per 5000km. Wondering if can improve it or not.

Synpower is the best Valvoline oil.

My honda no oil consumption problem..... 10k interval serbis.

sure not confusing miles with km? most mechanics recommend 5k miles or 6 month which converts to about 8k+ km

my cars all 10k km service interval
all full synthetic, using 5w30 and 0W20

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
*
if your car manual recommend 0-w20, then use the recommended oil spec

apa heat control n mileage high? low boost 1.5 only ma....
just dun keep boosting when 5 mins from reaching destination, let engine oil circulate to cool the turbo before shutting the car down.

you only change if makan oil and put in thicker 5-w30.
some ask you cause they might have not got the oil in stock or they buy that in bulk thus cheaper and earn more from it

unlike Balance's 260hp
I got only 200hp, probably a lot less as almost 20 years old
no oil consumption. Castrol Edge 5W30 engine oil and expensive petrol

On my 2.4 Accord it needs Valve seal gasket replacement almost every 90k km. Maybe 0w20 contributed to this, easier to leak?

what year? maybe go with 5W30 if burning engine oil

You will also need API SN/SP type of oil if later models, I use cheaper SL oil as my car is older.

5w30 is the right EO for K series.
*
newer K24W requirement is 0W20 already due to tighter tolerance
but old already can move to thicker oil if start to consume oil

I reckon the problem is US service intervals are based on the 7,500-mile, that is roughly 12k km

same oil pan cannot la long run unless the car mostly all freeway. US lot of cars clock up the mileage due to heavy freeway usage.
