I’m going to give this Poll thing another shot in spite of having past polls being either shut down or not having any helpful results. Honda admitted to this problem more than two months ago and some people have been able to get the fix for almost as long. So I have a feeling that more than a few people will have an opinion on the effect of the fix.
The problem that TSBs 18-114 & 18-124 both attempt to mitigate is Oil Dilution. As anyone can see, a whole bunch of the threads on this forum are either devoted to this problem or mention it incessantly. Quite frankly the information needed to make a determination on whether or not to rush out to get the fix done is impossibly scattered around.
I am hoping that by conducting a Poll the results will be centralized.
Honda seems to base the availability of this fix on how cold it gets in your area. And since it seems most of the stories of oil climbing above the Orange Monster do come from really cold places like Canada I am dividing the poll geographically. Since almost everyone in the United States and lots of Canadians have heard of Philadelphia Pennsylvania, I have chosen the 40th Parallel as the dividing line. The 40th Parallel runs through Philly and is just north of The Mason Dixon Line for you US history buffs. Plus, I live just north of it.
Now remember that the 40 that occurs in each of the questions is a geographical reference to where you live in relation to the 40th Parallel. It is not percent, degree, age or IQ related in any way.
