4K - 2014 Honda Accord with 210k miles - valve cover removal. Has Mobil 1 0W-20 prevented sludge?

[@goldenmanuever1176]

Typical M1 experience. Very nice sir.

[@vikingnorm6935]

Nice!!! I use Mobil 1 & Mobil 1 or Honda filters, change my oil & filter every 3000 miles, just something I do, had a few people in comment sections tell me Mobil 1 ruins Honda engines, wish they’d watch this video lol so clean

I’ve been a import shop owner for years and though I appreciate your willingness to keep your oil changes done. You’re going to get the exact same cleaning protection and wear protection if you’d extend your oil change intervals to 7500 miles. All of M1 formulas don’t even break a sweat at 7,500 miles. Save yourself some money and use it to go out to dinner.

You didn't mention your oil change INTERVALS?? And yes, it looked very clean!

[@richardvedvik979]

Intervals varied and were based on the oil life indicator. So, typically 8k mi.

When you pulled the valve cover off, I noticed the spark plug tube seals were on the tubes on the first two cylinders, and one of the screws was missing on number 4. They are supposed to be screwed to the cover. If this was the first time the cover has been off, the factory didn't screw those on, or the screws were loose and fell out. Either way I would worry about where those 5 screws went, and if they fell inside the engine where they could do damage. Probably just ended up at the bottom of the oil pan, and didn't hurt anything on the way down. Hard to believe Honda screwed that up. Are you sure this is the first time the cover's been off?

[@richardvedvik979]

The screws for the plug tube seals are on top of the valve cover, not the bottom. They are the torx I mentioned. If you look closely at the two still on the cover, you'll see the nuts are part of the assembly. And, yes, I am the original owner, I purchased this new, and I self perform all service.

Hi what was the weather temperature range it was driven in?

@@richardvedvik979that’s good to know! I have a ‘17 Civic with the 2.0 L i4…I live in the Indy area. Did a valve adjustment at 150K miles, and my internals looked just like yours…shiny silver, no deposits, varnish, or sludge! Here’s to regular oil changes, and kudos to Honda! 😃👍🏼

[@llama9274]

how many mile now?

[@richardvedvik979]

Over 230k
