I recently purchased a 2011 and have been monitoring the oil for about 2500km now and it doesn't seem to be burning oil, at least not yet. I knew these had low-tension piston rings so when I was doing all the maintenance and had the spark plugs out, I put sea foam directly into the combustion chambers and turned the crank every few hours for about 2 days just to be sure my piston rings never stick. The spark plugs looked great when I first removed them and they looked original with no indication of oil burning but I was not going to take any chances. I will still be doing short oil change intervals with a bit of marvel mystery oil before draining and techron in the fuel tank.
My question is, how many of you are running 5w20-5w30? Our winters are cold here so I will keep the 0w20 in it for now but this replaced my 2009 CRV and I was running 5w20 in winter with no issues and sometimes 5w30 in summer. It had 505 000km and ran like a clock, I just had to sell it because it was getting too rusty.
