yak: Lol now I understand your Train of thought. Sometimes it can be annoying but I don't even bother again. Everyone has a right to think like that. Nigerians definition of reliability is drive it till you hear noises everywhere and even if you hear noises drive it some more we forget that all these parts have replacement intervals. |

My oil life percentage got to 0% really fast, and I have only driven like 2000 miles after changing the oil in September. In fact, it's now at -50. But the oil level on the dipstick is still much but thw dashboard oil life percentage is already low. Must i change the oil ASAP? Your thoughts please Collione luvinhubby, kingreign, heavenlybang, presegs |

tolajay: So when you serviced it initially, did you rest the oil life monitor back to 100 percent because it doesn't do so automatically. And what engine oil are you using. |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by tolajay: 10:32am On Dec 22, 2021 |
Sure, I reset the counter to 100%. Used Performance Plus Oil. The degradation happened so fast. Collione: |

Please i use to use Honda Oil for my Honda City Service but due to the high cost of the oil, Can you please recommend another oil that i can use for it. |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by YeyeBoyfriend: 12:11pm On Dec 22, 2021 |
Collione:alright sir, thanks |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by DMechyy: 12:39pm On Dec 22, 2021 |
tolajay: You probably didn't do a reset the oil was changed. Writing down the mileage at the point of change and schedule the next change at a particular mile helps with keeping tabs. What grade of oil did you use |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by tolajay: 1:47pm On Dec 22, 2021 |
I did the reset after the oil was changed. It was back to 100%. Mileage was at 200500, now it's at 202200. Oil grade was 5W-30 SEA, Performance Plus. DMechyy: |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by Collione: 2:08pm On Dec 22, 2021 |
tolajay: What I do know is that the oil minder is fairly accurate/reliable. It uses sensors to determine if the oil is still in top shape based on trips, temperature, speed and other variables. Short trips and stop and go traffic wears oil faster. I'd suggest you change your oil soon since you have done 2k miles anyway you can push it to 2500 or 3k so long as the oil is fully synthetic but my real advice is to service your car to avoid stories that touch. Engine cost my guy |

temi4fash: Any world renowned fully synthetic brand will do. But in reality most are expensive. Avoid name brands that are unheard of . And please only buy from a reliable source. 1 Like |

Omo, the matter tire me oooo. Thank you. Meanwhile, how often do you advise the change of transmission oil? Last I changed was in July. The dipstick level still looks fine. Collione: |

Hi guys. I use a 2008 Honda Accord which I got toks two months ago. I serviced it 3 weeks ago with Mobil 1 and engine oil life is already at 50 percent just under 3 weeks. I want to know if I can reset it back to 100 percent when it gets to 20 percent because Mobil 1 is expensive and I can't be servicing the car with Mobil 1 every two months. |

Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by mejai(m): 10:43pm On Dec 22, 2021 |
agoodman:This is the reason I question those oil rating and oil change interval. Those oils are damn expensive in this part of the world. And Honda requires u change @3000km (by then oil percent is @ 5%). Then u are expected to Change the oil again? Na wa o. @Dru23, what do u have to say considering extended oil mileage/performance? Can one neglect the oil reminder? ASsuming one decides to use extended Mobil 1, 5w20 or whatever. |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by dru23(m): 11:33pm On Dec 22, 2021 |
mejai: I think in most cases u have to manually set the oil reminder to whatever time u want to change ur oil. Now for Infiniti 2011 .. I manually set it to remind me to change oil and filter every 7k miles... So cars that are lower than 2011 models, I don't how such works for them . but I don't think any car can tell you automatically when your oil is bad or needs changing. But I know if your car is running very and I mean very low on oil . The sensor will pick it up and alert of low oil ......... And I was tell people when using oil with longer intervals like say 20k miles oil . Always cut it into half and change it every 10k miles regardless of driving conditions . This is the method I use for my Honda Civic cars on uber. I change oil every 3months or 10k miles whichever ones comes first . And I use High grade filter |

Good morning house. I use a Honda accord 2005 EOD. Ever since I bought a new compressor for the AC, the car's engine trembles seriously once I turn on the Ac and the engine is idle. But it runs perfectly if the car is in motion. I have checked the engine mounts, and they are still okay. Can you please provide a hint on what the issue is and how to fix it. Thank you |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by Conner44: 1:58am On Dec 23, 2021 |
rennylaw:Is it a 4 or 6 cylinder engine? When last did you service your throttle body What are your engines rpms when warm both before and after you switch the ac on |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by Igemburg(m): 3:12am On Dec 23, 2021 |
sandammy: For no 1, it means the fan have been connected directly 2. That sounds looks like pulley is bad, from experience tho, check with a reliable mechanic |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by rennylaw(m): 8:33am On Dec 23, 2021 |
Conner44: Thank you so much for this quick response. The car has a 4 cylinder engine. The mechanic working on it has fiddled a lot with the injector mouth that houses the throttle body and when the car wants to accelerate at times it feels like it is loosing power . Again if I turn off the engine and I am about to turn it off almost immediately, it comes on but I will have to press the acceleration pedal very hard before it comes fully to life. Rpm when warm is 900 rpms but when the ac is turned on it goes back to 500 rpms. Thank you once again as I anticipate your response. |
