I own a 2018 Accord 2.0 turbo EXL. Can anyone tell me if this is actually a GDI engine, if so should I install an oil catch can to help the engine last longer. Please advise.

Thank you very much for your response, I read the article and watched the video and it was very good and made sense to me. I have about 30,000 miles on my accord now but will be using this product in the future. Thank you again.

just a little info on any turbo vehicle, when the turbo is run hard like on a long hill climb road, the turbo gets to a very hot temp. if you stop to take a brake or park to eat, take a few minutes and let the engine idle 2-3 min to cool the turbo down. turbo is lubricated by the engine oil and will soon coke if run hot and shut down. by idling the engine, it cools the bearings and turbo a bit to allow longer life.
