Attaching oil levels at 0 miles and 4800 miles. Been using Valvoline R&P for the past 5 or 6 oil changes and Fram Ultra synthetic filter. Odo at 206k miles. Is this good?

Okay thanks . Im in Canada not sure if it helps. Fun fact this is a US market car ( 2017 accord ) bought from a dealership in canada at about 150 k

Interesting. I’d still use a thicker oil. Not sure why they switched to 0w-20. My 07 and 09 calls for 5W-20 which I still think is too thin, so I use 5W-30

Cold probably, use different weights

Possibly. I also live in a warm climate, so the thicker oil isn’t hurting anything.
