jesu shocked gazzuzz how did you know?

The wheel actually tilts and steers a bit to the right once I'm driving straight and leave the steering wheel alone. I did wheel alignment today but nothing changed.

How were you able to diagnose this fault by just hearing of my replaced steering beam and the horn issue and what should I do to remedy it?

Thanks

Good day to the house, Oga gazzuzz,kingrein, luvinhubby et.al greetings. Pls I need your advice on this, I had my regular oil change and noticed my mechanic having issues with the oil drain plug at the end of the tussle it got bent and was replaced with something different from this,

1. Should i replace with same, did he damage anything, will it cause leaks?

2. Power steering fluid is found on the passenger side tire and near the condenser I can't spot where it's coming from but Am guessing somewhere at the bottom

Honda Accord 03 V6. Thanks..

Honda does not produce ATF-Z1 any longer. The DW1 that Honda currently produces is backward compliant. That means any car tgat uses Z1 can use DW1. Honda manual says in the absence of both, use Dexron III until you find the right ATF.

My take is that they wont recommend any ATF that isnt theirs. I guess warrantee may not be voided by using Dexron III since they allowed its use for a short period.
Please i need concrete proof of this.I bought Honda ATF-ZI exactly two years ago and used on a Honda Accord.I just bought again last week and serviced the same gear and the vehicle still moves like new.

You will only be lucky if its an old stock. You will be out of luck if its a fake.

Search Amazon, ebay etc, you will not find Z1. A search on Amazon for Z1 will refer you to DW1. The switch was in 2011.

Obviously fake, that your car moves well now does not mean it is genuine, damages to transmissions oftentimes is gradual and may take a little while to be felt on the car shifts.

The pix is a combination of both Z1 and DW1, the owner must have a forgotten can of Z1 somewhere that he wants to sell with his cureent DW1.

Take his advice, every can of Z1 in Nigeria is China cloned.

N2k China, N5k OEM.

Just some slight jerking or misfiring sometimes, but otherwise, no signs.

Just replace it after 70,000 km or once every 4yrs.

Thanks man, a mechanic said it's 6500 but I don't know which one he is going to buy. And I have been experiencing some jerks when accelerating and I asked my mechanic, he said it's probably ball joints so was skeptical about it until the car stopped a few minutes to midnight two days ago on the long bridge on my way to ibafo.

Would have lost my life if not because of the men of the Nigerian Police, Ogun state service who stayed with me till dawn.

If it doesn't show in 2 years then I wonder.Anyways repercussions of abuse to Honda transmission is instant.Once I poured seahorse into honda transmission when I was still a learner.The next day the gear kaput straight.Anyways will replace with DW1 for national peace and trqnquility.

I use an acura mdx 2010 , each time I rev up (i.e push on the gas pedal) I hear this metallic grinding sound that looks to be coming from either the engine or mid section of the car.
whenever this happens, I would have to reduce my speed and the way I push on the gas pedal then the metallic grinding sound disappears.
I also have cylinder misfire codes P0301/302/303/304 and check emission system active.
kindly help out hear

You car is pinging /detonation .Pinging is due to uneven combustion of air fuel mixture and resulting to spontaneous explosion which is the engine grinding noice u are getting.
Resolve the mixture issue and the grinding noice will go away !!
