I’ve had good luck with my Hondas. I’ve rebuilt some of the engines and have been really impressed with their engineering. Very well thought out with maintenance friendly design.

I spend most most of my time working on a collection of Mercedes Diesels. My Hondas don’t break and I use them to drive me to the junkyard and auto parts store to get Mercedes parts.

Till now. I’m here because I changed oil on our K24z2 powered 2011 Accord and out came a big handful of metal. I couldn’t believe it. The car only has 60,000 miles on it and I’ve followed the maintenance monitor and used Mobil 1 0w20 since I got it. Looks like fragments of an oil scraper ring. But I’m unsure. I’ve posted up pictures in the Accord/crosstour sub forum. I don’t see it yet but I think the mods will put it up after reviewing it.

Hoping somebody has seen this before and knows what to do. Ignore, cry, swap engine, drop Pan, rebuild etc.

thanks.
