So if Honda is so secure with their algorithm, why do they keep it a
secret?
You think a single algorithm can take into account the entire range of
possible environmental conditions? Or do you think it can account for
"normal" conditions?

Like it or not, Honda is in the business of selling you a car. The
more often you buy one, the more profit they make.

There's tons of oil analysis data available online at bobistheoilguy.

You've never owned a business or created anything of value, have you.

it's not - that kind of info is all over the web. it's based on oil
temp and number of revolutions.

now what are you going to do with that info?

it's a reasonable approximation. if you want to improve on it, you need
on-board opacity, t.b.n. and spectral analysis, and i don't think anyone
does that on road vehicles yet. heck, hardly anyone measures oil level,
and that's the easy one.

really? why don't you appear to have read any of it?

and outside temperature, no doubt.

don't think so. it's oil temp that matters. outside temp influences
initial, and maybe the high end of summer in vegas, but oil temp is
pretty narrow-band - the rest of the cooling system sees to that.

I know Hondas have a water temperature switch but I hadn't heard they
also have an oil temperature sensor or switch.

well first I'm gonna question whether Honda measures oil temp.
which I don't think they do.

then I'm going to suggest that some other factors (like driving on
dirt roads or sustained high RPM operation) ought to be considered.

reasonable approximation? you're guessing. Honda should publish the
algorithm or at least tell us what variables are used. Elmo thinks
this is some sort of valuable trade secret whereas Honda is probably
obscuring an overly simplistic design. It's an idiot light, nothing
more.

enough to know that a wide range of environmental and operating
variables leads to a wide range of engine oil lifespans.

for the average driver, who NEVER checks their oil level between oil
changes, Toyota's 5000 mile interval is probably a safer long-term bet
than Honda's minder. in a Honda, a driver could go a year between
service whereas Toyota's system is likely to bring them in every 6
months.

My 2003 CRV also has a hiping sound, like trapped budgie!
I don't think its the wheel though, and have not isolated if its only
over bumps, sounds like it comes from somwhere inside the cab or engine bay
