House I greet,

Please Need an advice for a friend.

Bought a nija used Honda civic a month ago and has not gone long distance but drives everyday like 10km. He went to Lekki yesterday from Ipaja, first he noticed that the engine is usually hot when he got to Agungi( no coolant in the radiator, just water) and also this morning, maybe because of the over 154miles travelled he noticed that the engine shorts oil.

Here is his question sirs, @Gazzus,

1. Can the hot car engine cause his engine oil to evaporate? ( uses XHP Mobil 1000)

2. Can the coolant that is not in the radiator cause the engine to be hot but not overheating.

3. What can he do differently to prevent further harm to the engine ( engine steams well and does not smoke).

1 using XHP Mobil 1000? well the engine is living on borrow time anyways, cause that is not the oil specified for that engine, however, you can make the best of it, making sure you change your oil on time (say evrey 2 and half month). Keep an extra bottle in your car in case you need to top up to correct oil level.

2. Can the coolant that is not in the radiator cause the engine to be hot but not overheating? Water has a better heat transfer quality than coolant though, but the mistake people make is tht they dont use distill water, they use tap water (corosive). Engine are meant to run at certain optimal temperature, so it isn't bad if you engine get hot after drivinng as long as it doesnt overheats. So keep your eye on the over temperture meter once in a while, you will be fine.

3. What can he do differently to prevent further harm to the engine ( engine steams well and does not smoke). Do what I stated in number 1 above. You can also revserse back to using Honda specified coolant rather than water.

My Honda EOD Gear delays for 3-4 seconds when moved from Park to Drive.

I have changed the transmission oil twice but still same issues.

Just been managing it for a while now but I want to have it fixed.

Do I have to change the gearbox.

Structuralman:


Is the D light of your car blinking? What brand of ATF did you use to replace replace the transmission fluid?
What error codes did you get after scanning?

baba4thegehs:


No Error codes and D light doesn't blink, i used Total Quartz 5000 the last time.

Hi!

I am guessing what you meant by 'power still high' is that the RPM stays high on idle. I think that can happen normally when you replace a throttle body UNTIL a natural 'relearn' process is completed, when the RPM returns to normal on its own.
Is it a drive-by-wire or wireless throttle body?

As for the overheating, look for a different cause. I am not sure high RPM from throttle body replacement should cause that. How high does your RPM go at idle presently??

Cheers!

fizzle344:
The RPM gets to 2500 when i start the car.
It goes above 1000rpm when in Drive. If i put on the ac,it goes up to 1500rpm
