Hi guys!
I noticed my car was consuming too much fuel so I took it to a mechanic on Wednesday. We checked the plugs and he changed it because it was bad,he also cleaned the MAF sensor with abro cleaner because it was dirty. My car started vibrating on cold start today and I have to start it up to three times and check engine light is on. I called the mechanic and he said I must have bought fuel that has water in it and that I should bring the car so he can clean the injectors.
I want to know if anyone has experienced this before. Car is 2008 Honda Accord. This is the first time check engine light is showing on the dashboard. |

Conner44: How many times in total have you serviced it with the mobil 1 5w20 since you got the vehicle? During the other times you changed the oil before you serviced it again did you notice this exact same type of oil consumption?
Have you checked your pcv valve? (It’s a switch with a black rubber pipe in plugged front of the engine behind your power steering pump) I've been servicing it in total since I got it and I've done that 4 times already. This is the first time I'm noticing this consumption. I've not checked the pcv valve but will check. What should I look out for in the pcv valve? |

Conner44: 1. What type of car and what engine?
2. What is the mileage of the car presently?
3. Did you buy it as tokumbo or Nigeria used?
4. Have you personally stood behind the vehicle while it was being revved or driven to ascertain for sure that the engine burns oil?
5. Have you been able to bend down and look under your engine or on the ground for leaks?
2008 Honda Accord 4 plugs
Bought tokumbo October last year and I've been servicing it with Mobil 1 5w-20
Mileage is 144000. The mileage it was at when I bought it was 132000.
The engine doesn't smoke so I don't know for sure if it burns oil and I've bent down,looked under the engine and there was no leak whatsoever. |

GreekDon: I know paying 30k for the Mobil 1 hurts. But it's actually the better option. 20W50 is too heavy for the K24. You don't want to start dealing with failed VTC actuators.
If you don't suffer from Oil burns and blue smoke, please stick with original Mobil 1 5w20. You gonna enjoy that engine for a long time. Thanks for your help. I'm suffering from oil burns despite using only Mobil 1 to service the car since I bought it late last year. I've only driven a little over 3000miles and the oil has gone really down and I'm beginning to worry. The car drives well,no smoke of any kind and fuel consumption is good and it hasn't overheated once. Everything is still in factory settings. What should I do about the oil burns? |

brosiye99: Please keep on using the Mobil 1 5w30 oil. Budget to change it twice a year because the full synthetic of that oil grade can go 10,000 miles before next service which is about 16,000Km. To be safe, you can change the oil at 7,000 miles or 11,000km. If you cover that distance in one year, then it should be once a year servicing. Else if you drive frequently and always enter stop and start traffic,you can do twice a year. It is better for you in the long run. Engine price is crazy expensive now. I don't change it twice a year because the maintenance light always comes on every 3000miles and i don't like driving it like that when the maintenance light comes on. |

Hello guys!
I use 2008 honda Accord and I've been servicing it with Mobil 1 5w 20 which is recommended for it since I bought it almost a year ago as toks. I may have to start using the normal Mobil 20w50 for it because the price for mobil 1 keeps increasing and Naija no easy now. My question is this,will it have a negative effect on the engine and is there anyone here who has been using 20w50 to service his Honda Accord without any issues? |

davessales039: If your fuel cap is in good condition, then it is likely your evap canister vent valve is not sealing properly. Google and YouTube should help you with this.
Just remove the valve (it's plastic) , clean it with a dry cloth, check the seals, and reinstall. You may need to blow some air through the valve in both directions to push out any dust or cobweb. NOTE -- Do not spray any liquid in there. You don't need such.
(This was the fix for mine about 2 or 3 years ago. It has never reocurred since then). Thank you very much. I did this and It fixed it. |

mokset123: do you run your car fuel to reserve most of the time before you refuel?
You may have a bad fuel pump or the cap of the fuel tank is bad I do run the fuel to reserve most times before refueling. |

Collione: Did you have your fuel pump assembly or fuel gauge replaced in the past? No. I bought it toks and I've only changed the steering rack since I bought it almost a year now. I don't know if those were changed by the dealer I bought it from. |

Hi guys
I drive a 2008 Honda Accord and I've been seeing a check fuel cap notice on the dashboard for months now. It comes on anytime and I don't know what to do to solve this. Has anyone had the same problem and what did they do to solve it? |

It's not as fuel efficient as a Corolla or civic but it's what I have and I'm managingg it until I can get a civic. Bolt is very lucrative here in Akure because lots of people use it. |
