I think u need to change the ATF u are using. Our local ABRO can be used for steering but never for Honda gear box. Try using the Z1 or DW1, u will notice an improvement.

dpresido: Nice thread....Pls I nid tip on my Baby Boy 2000, The steering is a bit stiffed. Used to be flexible than this before. Have topped de transmission fluid and still same. Thanks

Behind bobo: What could cause my batteries not to last more than 7 months.The last two brand new batteries I purchased did not last long before they packed up.The last one I bought was a trane battery with adequate rating.The one before was also good. Is there a reason for this?

numen: My Maintenance Tips:

1.) Change Engine Oil every 3000km (I use Mobil)
2.) Use Oando's Dexron II for the Gear Box (Abro will knock your gear) - (already mentioned)
3.) While driving be mindful not to always turn the steering to the last possible angle(helps the shaft)
4.) If you have an open roof, periodically clean the drainage hole to avoid water leaking into the car
5.) Vibrating Sound infront of the car? Check your engine sitting(already mentioned)
6.) Your single pipe radiator which used to work might not be the cause of your current over-heating...Check your water pump!
7.) Your car is not accelerating according to pedal pressure? Timing Belt might be the culprit.

Just my 2cents guys. Hope this helps someone. I luv this thread like I luv my Honda.

lanre2009: Hi all,

I have been using my honda accord 1998 model(babyboy) for a little over three years now and i would still love to use it for the next two years, i am planning on refurbishing (fine tunning) the engine, what do i need to do? Every advise would be highly appreciated.

simon templer: Oyingbo is the best place.

aychadas: Please where can I get Z1 honda gear oil, I looked for it all over Port harcourt but couldn't find it, n how much pls.

Marpol: @luvinhubby, how many litres of oil will it take to service a 2003 EOD V6 engine?

teeebest:
Do you know of a good Honda Mechanic you can refer me to @ oyingbo? I need to service my baby boy and I'm skeptical about these
'jack of all trade' Mechanics.

ayo.mury:
My Honda CRV 2004 drive light just started flashing on motion even when I shift to a lower gear, the D light still keeps flashing.
While it does this, the gear doesn't really select, but rather drives at very low speed with the engine revving. At first, switching off the engine for a while fixes this temporarily, but now, it hardly solves the problem. My mechanic is telling me that i need to replace my gear

luvinhubby:
It's N2,500 per can but DW1 is better and it's N3,000 per can.

belu: I use honda bulldog. I just change my transmission oil with HOLT transision. I notice my car light flahes at D4 instead of bein permanet

drumme: i had same issues with my 97 honda. after several ideas given, what fixed it was the guage/dashboard switch........ my problem now is my battery runs down wen i pack it. av changed alternator and bougth new battery .....it still goes down, anyone knows whats sapping my battery?

viazi: @ All, kindly state clearly where one can get the Z1 OR DW1 ATF, is there a Particular Fuel Station dat sell it? Is it Ap, Oando,TOTAL, CON OIL ETC? OR HONDA PLACE? KINDLY SPECIFY THE PEOPLE THAT SELL THIS STUFFS. THANK U.

Ball joints are not what you change frequently if you get good ones.
Bring the vehicle down, we need to look at the legs very well.

Nixo: Hello all, I use a honda babyboy. The issue I have is that anytime I start the engine and want to move,the gear hesitates always before it changes to the next gear, this happens when it is meant to change from 1 -2. It is an automatic transmission and that happens only when I switch off and restart the car. What could be the issue with the car? Car gurus, am waiting for responses. Thanx
