      It's a specific blend made to Hondas specifications.

          Never stated there was anything "Special" about it.
          I said it was a specific blend made to Honda's specifications.

          Just like their 0w20 LEO oil.

              Honda doesn't "make" most of their components. Filters are most definitely outsourced, made to spec. Sensors, ditto. Fluids, duh. Fabrics, probably.
              Look through hondautomotiveparts.com, and you'll see lots of authentic parts, with the name of their manufacturer right next to them (gauge clusters.. Mitsuba or Denso, right?)

              So, no... there is no oil pump in Saudi Arabia bearing a Honda logo. There is no oil refinery bearing a Honda logo. Any "authentic Honda oil" is made by someone else to Honda's specs.

                100% true.

                And to which I say,

                Million mile Joe uses Honda labeled oil, air filters AND fuel filters.

                  I think it is silly you are holding onto this point. As an interpretation, I understand how you get to this opinion. As an interpretation.

                  As fact, oil, air and fuel as words were being used descriptively, meaning filter is the noun. Therefore, the sentence makes no mention of oil, but rather suggests million mile Joe uses oem filters.

                  I understand where you are coming from, but I don't think that's accurate. To say "oil, air and fuel filters" doesn't mean oil. It's describing different types of filters and the only reason it says oil at all, is to describe the type of filters being used. Oil, air and fuel.

                    I chose not to enter that battle.

                    But yes, the way it is worded, the filters are what is being discussed. Essentially, "Joe uses Honda oil filters, air filters, and fuel filters".
                    Million Mile Joe uses Honda branded oil filters.

                    He may indeed use Honda branded oil as well, though it is not said that he does in that article. If he got his car serviced at Honda, then it would make sense. Honda would stock an oil that was formulated to work best in their vehicles, that's for sure. It wouldn't be a bad decision. Granted, technology has come a long way in 20 years, and we have much better oils available than what was suggested in 1990... still, for moderate use, with good maintenance, just about ANY oil will work just fine, especially in an engine as robust as the F22A.

                      Ok well I see what your referring to, but it is out of context.

                      In the statement, it comes after saying that he uses Genuine Honda oil....and changes it every year....never let's it get low....

                      and then says, he uses oil, air, and fuel filters.

                      So now in that context I get that it is saying the types of filters used, not including actual oil.

                      I guess it is deceiving.

                      LOL!

                        True. The preceding sentence does make you think "oil".

                        IMO, it's a case of poor writing!

                          But it doesnt say anything about using genuine honda oil.

                          " Of course the real key is not only driving a lot and carefully, but maintaining his Honda Accord. Joe takes great care to insure his car runs well. He follows his owners manual and maintenance schedule precisely. He checks his fluids weekly and will switch them every year. He uses 10W-30 oil in the summer and 5W-30 oil in the winter and makes sure to stick with the same brand. He changes his oil every 5,000 miles. He won't let his oil get low, never letting it go below a quart. He uses genuine Honda oil, air, and fuel filters. In addition, he changes the brake fluid every few years, and does not let his fuel tank go almost “Empty.”
                          Right here it says he sticks with the same brand, and then goes on to talk about using OEM filters.

                          I dunno, thats the way I interpret it. No mention anywhere in the paragraph as "honda oil" or anything of the sort. Just that he doesn't let it get low, changes 10w30 vs 5w30 in the winter, and always uses the same brand.

                            It's just a misleading paragraph structure. If you didn't read carefully (or know you were reading about a guy with a million miles on a 20 year old car) you could think that he changes his oil once a year as well! "He checks his fluids weekly and will switch them every year. He uses 10W-30 oil in the summer and 5W-30 oil in the winter and makes sure to stick with the same brand." Oil is a fluid.

                            But yes... the structure goes from fluids, to oil, to oil, to filters (starting with oil)... Analyzed carefully, it's not specifying the brand of the oil, just the filters. Read quickly, I can see where someone would misread it.
                            In fact, if you removed "air", and it just said "Honda oil and fuel filters", it would be debatable. It COULD mean Honda oil and Honda fuel filters. The presence of "air" makes it clear that all three words (oil, air, fuel) are describing the filters.

                              I thought it said Genuine oil in the preceding sentence.

                                13. Did you do anything special in terms of maintenance?

                                I always stuck to the Honda maintenance schedule; I always used Honda filters, belts, hoses, plugs and fluids with the exception of engine oil. This is only because I started with an engine oil I have used exclusively since the early 1980's. The more important reasons that got me to this point in time are, I never changed the products I use and I always had the same person servicing my vehicle every time which in my case was me!
                                17. How often did you change oil and filter? Did you use synthetic oil?

                                Every five thousand miles, but note that this interval will not work for everyone because everyone's driving habits are different. It works well as a baseline or overall average. I only used synthetic oil during the cold winter months.


                                And technically, he's only 926,000 mile Joe. He bought the car used in 96 with 74k on it.
