I'd rather buy lexus than acura. The parts are mad expensive. I no longer fancy old model cars. My next car must be 2014 model. No matter what 1 Like |

Cokahot:So 2013 ZDX is old model? Yet somehow 2014 Lexus is new model? Meanwhile, some of us don't care about how expensive the parts are. I have used an Acura before now and I know what I'm getting myself into. It's not about expensive parts, it's about driving what you want. I agree with you though, Acura is not for stingy people. 14 Likes 1 Share |

Kelvin30286063: Since the post is not directed towards me. I wanted to read and move on .. But my conscious will not let me sleep at nite....... I understand your concerns and feel your pain.... The gas price in the USA for regular fuel is $4.67 per gallon and $5.607 for premium fuel ...... Now my 2011 Infiniti requires premium fuel for best engine protection and performance. I can't afford premium for now ..... Marvel Mystery oil is what I use instead . A little goes a long way . Marvel mystery cleans the fuel and gives ur car better performance and engine protection.. And also you can add it to your engine oil during oil change. A little goes a long way , this stuff is very very strong and avoid it getting on your hands.... Am currently out of stock .. But if you can hit me up before the week runs out , I can load it for my next shipment ........ Anything after Thursday I wouldn't able to help you.. You can reach me at dru23@hotmail.com Your car will thank you for it .. Your car will run smooth and freely.. Your car will run the way the manufacture design it to run ..

9icetoo: For how long sir? Acura ZDX are meant to be driven fast .. This is the type of car you take on long journey highway and drive fast to open up all the engine valves.. It is called the breaking in period of the car. This will allow the engine to breath 1 Like |

Kelvin30286063: Get torque pro app for android.....monitor the live data on it especially the coolant temperature, and intake air temperature. Normal coolant temperature range is around 80'C to 85'C. And your car should get to that temperature within 2minutes and should maintain that range as long as the ignition is on Intake air temperature is usually dependent on ambient surrounding temperature. In the Morning because I live in Southeast is usually around 24'C to 27'C and rises as you keep driving the car. The maximum range have seen is in the Afternoon when the weather is very hot, and it's usually close to 50'C or lesser. Funnily I discovered overtime that the higher the intake air temperature around 50'C the lesser it consumes fuel. Infact it can consume half the fuel for the same journey. I lost an engine to overheating, that's why I took both temperature range serious. Anything beyond that, na to stop the car and start looking for a mechanic. Luckily since have change the engine, it hasn't gone over those ranges. |

dru23: Bro, I beg to differ on your understanding of breaking in. Break in occurs when a car is bought from factory brand new till 1,000 miles. The driver varies speed of the engine and does not load the engine to high rpm’s usually below 4000 rpms. Upshift early and be easy with luggage and passengers so as not to put strain and stress on the drive train. But this ACURA ZDX, probably is more than 120,000 miles on the dash needs no break in procedure except the engine was rebuilt recently or a brand new engine (not tokunbo) was installed into it. 8 Likes |

Re: How Do I Solve The Problem Of Premium Fuel by dru23(m): 9:30am On Jun 08, 2022 |
kingreign: That is not a golden rule ..... Varies from car to car . some cars break in period could be 500 miles or more . it is important to read owners manual .... That been said : I didn't clarify myself well enough about the Acura ZDX ... The engine break in period is well over due at this time ...unless it's a brand new factory engine...... You or someone stated that due to lack of premium fuel for the ZDX . To avoid engine damage the car should be driven at certain RPM and speed blah blah etc .. It is not good for the car to be restricted that way. It is bad enough that more than likely the car is driven in the city. And most times under harsh traffic condition. The solution to lack of premium fuel in Nigeria is Marvel oil Mystery. This is a fuel additives that protects the engine and can even give you better gas mileage. Once Marvel mystery oil is added the next step is to take the car on a highway drive .. This will allow the valves and engine to breath properly. It's like a cleaning process or I like to call it second break in of the car . your spark plugs gets clean and fuel system gets clean and well lubricated ... |

dru23:1. The engine in his TL and zdx have already been broken in sir. A loooooooooooong time ago before he bought it. 2. The zdx was not meant to be driven only fast. It can also be driven slowly with no harm done to the engine. The sweets spots for most engines and the 3.7L J37 in his Acura is between 2200 and 3000 rpm. You are not going anywhere fast at those rpms. 3. Marvel mystery oil is not an octane booster. It will never be. It "may" clean the top of pistons (please note my use of inverted comma). That "may" also reduce the propensity for the engine to ping due to low octane fuel as compression ratio has reduced. 4. Sell him an octane booster if you have one (what he wants). Other than that keep that snake oil where it belongs. Thank you. 3 Likes |

Peterlove11:That temperature range is not fixed. It is dependent on the set point for the thermostat and what the engine designers planned for the car. My car comfortably gets to 100 °c before my fans come on. I've monitored this severally and it's not only on my car but on several cars too. Some even go as high as 105 ° c before the fans run to bring it down. Different cars have different set points. I'd agree that 110 °c is too high but there may be cars out there running that hot by design. Cheers. |

HeavenlyBang:The car actually meant to be driven fast for real. I'm a living witness to that but ofcourse it can also be driven slow if you don't like to go fast but doesn't mean it won't race if it comes to it. I have tried that a few times in the last few days. Heavenlybang contribute a lot of nonsense most times. Disregard him |

kingreign:I can feel the break in has happened already. I don't have to make it run. It does it just fine. Especially in sport mode. It's currently at 112k miles |
Re: How Do I Solve The Problem Of Premium Fuel by HeavenlyBang(m): 6:19pm On Jun 08, 2022 |
Kelvin30286063: Your ZDX isn't meant to be driven fast, don't deceive yourself. It's a simple SOHC 3.7L V6 in a massive SUV meant for comfort and cargo. Utter nonsense. I have a coupe with a huge ~400 HP V8 that's sprints to 60 in about 4.5s and even I wouldn't say it's meant to be driven fast. Because it's not. Don't fool yourself into thinking that your ZDX is some sort of performance-oriented vehicle. It's not. Great crossovers, though, I absolutely love them. 1 Like |

Kelvin30286063:Kelvin kelvin kelvin. I know why I called you 3 times oo. I know you like your new whip. I can understand the sentimental attachment. Apart from F1 cars and their derivatives, no other vehicle was made solely to be driven fast. You can choose to drive your ZDX like you stole it or drive it like a grandpa. It will do just fine. That's the point we have been trying to make to you. That fellow up there just wants to sell you snake oil. The other fellow is bitter with heavelybang for reasons best known to him. Do with this my info what you wish. I am always on this forum to help but won't hesitate to call bullshit when I see one. 3 Likes |

Due to my kind of driving, which is turbo,maneuvering inside traffic,turbo n brakes,not full brakes,just tap to draw my speed back to 50kph.. I bought 3k fuel today and drove for abt 3hrs max time ,city driving with ac on and stops here and there.my catalyst was stolen from abroad,so I bought spacers 20k tho I noticed some slight difference,but still I'm not satisfied. Would work towards the 150k for rx direct catalyst. Now I'm on one pin below half tank. Lexus tried. |

9icetoo:No one says it's formula 1 fast. We are talking about regular fast here. Stop going out of your way to make a point. Everyone knows the kind of fast we are talking about. I'm not saying that cos I like my car. It's not my first Acura and I know they are fast in the regular car sense. That's what I mean 3 Likes |
