Good day house, please I noticed my steering vibrates when I'm on the high way, I did alignment last Saturday, it's stable but vibrates. What could be the cause?

Blackbishop:


Permit me to answer this mama Rad.

Boss the likely cause can be the Thermostat if still present,
Coolant temperature Sensor prolly but remote diagnosis wont work. You can ask mama rad for free diagnosis at her place

thebigkendo:


It's normal for the eco light to come on & off depending on your driving pattern.. The light comes on when you are driving "economically" & goes off when you are not..

Also quartz 5000 is not right oil for your car but since you talked about thermostat removed, I will assume you bought it naija used.. So just jejely continue using the quartz 5000

Leave the transmission fluid alone oh, don't top up.. Whenever you are ready, drain & refill completely with GENUINE Honda DW-1 fluid

chijioke17:

Please I'm still in need of help
And my left back tire is not straight, just like someone complained few posts back

CrownV12:


I think your brake disc is the culprit for the vibrating steering. Change brake disc and brake pads. I dont know about your bent tyre.

Good day house

I bought a Honda Accord 2004 just last month and serviced with Total quartz 5000 (20w50) exactly what the previous owner uses.


The recommended oil is 5w20 as inscribed on the cap.

Question: is it possible I ask my Kazeem to uncouple the engine, drain/flush the engine with whatsoever substance, recouple and then fill with the recommended engine oil please?

He's also not sure of the brand of transmission oil used as at last fill, what do I do if I need refill?


Thanks all

Make sure you get a non abused one, if it is i4, you are good. Avoid the v6 of that particular honda.

egesie:

What’s wrong with the V6?

And they consume more fuel than V4

In 5w20 and 5w30 which is best to use for Honda pilot 2003 in Nigeria ? V6 Engine

ahmstrng:
Been following this thread for a while. I own an accord 2009 v6. Noticed the check engine was always on. Had it scanned and I realized the thermostat was removed. Got a new one after reading on this thread as to how important it is. Just want to say thank to all the real mechs here. Now my question is basically me trying to know how best to maintain the car all round. I have serviced it once since purchase which was 2 months ago. With total qwat 5000. The mechanics say the gear all is still good but isnt gaged. Any recommendations? And i want to know if it’s normal for the eco mode to go on and off depending on how im accelerating cause i read it online and i see people complaining as to how it affects their engine. I’ll like to be educated on how best to maintain the car

weyreypey:

That's the wrong oil. Don't touch your gear leave it. You need a specialist to do that. Anyone who would service a 2009 Honda with quartz 5000 is evil

ahmstrng:

Mehn. Which Brand and type do you recommend. So i can have it changed asap the car isnt due for servicing for couple more weeks. But im willing to have it drained and changed now. What particular brand should i look for

weyreypey:

Liquimoly contact midoda

ahmstrng:

What particular type. 5w20 5w30. Which to be precise. And is there an alternate if this isn’t available to me here in ilorin

sholarb:


All things being equal.

5w20 - better fuel economy
5w30 - better engine protection

I'd choose engine protection over fuel economy any day.
