Is that the first you've tried the amazon oil? Have you ever had it through oil analysis from some place like blackstone labs?

Swapped out the heater o2 sensor on my EG8 with a part from the junkyard. No more CEL. Pretty good condition.
It’s in my moms crv and they drive that thing a ton. I also have black stone lab kit at my house so I’ll be able to send a sample soon.

Love that Eastwood pic...(Outlaw Josey Wales?) he's quite the presence on Twitter these days. I'm guessing you'd enjoy his perspective on things.
But what about you ... will you be a presence at the Dragon this September?
Inquiring minds need to know!

that oil is too thick for these cars 0-20 or 05-20 is the only type of oil recommended.

wearing out the engine more by using wrong oil . Ask Scotty, super thin oil was made to run in Honda's vtec engines as well as others. But very hot climates wouldn't mean 05-30 is wrong to use or oil burning engine's-thicker would work better.

0w-20 is what honda recommends for that vehicle/model.
Amazon sells it in that spec if you're wanting to try it.
