Thanks for the UOA post! Super. I'll help out and post mine too. Maybe talk the mods into creating a UOA/oil catagory?

The "factory fill" high moly numbers can be repalced I believe by using basic Havoline oil, a "lowly" GII+ oil if I remember right, which is exactley the oil I'm going to use soon. (Cannot get a hold of Schaeffer oil fast enough this time to try it.) If Honda means for this engine to break in on a high moly oil then I think a resonable compromise to dumping early is to put back a "similiar" oil.
Everyone else has to do what they think best for their own peace of mind. I claim no special insight into what is best for this engine. (Will have about 1,500 on the oil by the weekend and if the Blackstone kits gets here in time! They are draggnig their feet this time.) I'll install the Fumoto valve, a new "Filtec" Honda OEM filter, Havoline 5W30 and will use that oil for 3,000 miles and make a second UOA.
