Morning.

Please I drive a Honda Accord 2004(Automatic transmission). Recently, i have been having issues with the gear. When the gear is on drive, it hesitates and revs before jerking forward, and I notice this is usually occurs between the GEAR 1-2 on the dashboard.

The issue actually started after I took my car for engine wash; then i noticed whenever i changed gears; either from drive to reverse or park, it jerks forward of backwards depending on the direction. I took it to my mechanic, he changed the gear switch and oil. The jerking during the gear change stopped, but the revving and jerking while accelerating didnt. Although, as soon as the speed increases to like 6okm/hr, or above gear2 sign on the dashboard, it doesnt occur anylonger. Until i slow down, and when i try to increase speed, it does so again.

I've tried two seperate mechanics, who have also tried changing the gear switch but problem still persists.

Do you have an idea what could be wrong?

No offense taken at all. I actually wanted to start a discussion. A little background info:

I used 20w 50 oil for donkey years. In fact there was a time when it was the only viscosity available, if I remember correctly.

I then joined NL and some people on here who know quite a bit about cars said 20w 50 oil is simply not suitable for modern engines. The arguments for and against have been on ever since.

I switched to 5w 30 some years ago and have been using it without any issues. The question though is why motor manufacturers would approve certain viscosities only for the Middle east/Africa? What is the reason?

jceesquare:
Absolutely correct.
I'd recommend a 20W50 oil to an old car (especially those with engines that has wide oil passage) and with very high millage (please take note of the bolded and check your cars oil chart ooO to avoid stories that touches the heart biko). I have an antique that I use as my daily driver and when going to remote inter places and I use a 20W50 on it (dem no born me well to switch to the recommended 5W30 ). Some cars modified for drift, track races and other abused high rev purposes use a thicker 20W50 for extra protection. The secret to enjoying your car with that grade of oil is frequent oil change, and please make sure you're easy on the throttle and you do not rev the engine unnecessarily at cold start until you have good oil circulation to the top. But when the oil don flow reach the top and engine reaches optimum temperature, you can fire down till the rev counter breaks.
My antique still purrs and steams till tomorrow with over 300k millage on it from my calculation.

We have fully synthetic 20w50 always in stock

You have a point about there not being a one size fits all method. The problem (if I can call it that) is that 'long' and 'short' are relative. That's why I prefer specific mileage or time intervals to guide me in the choices I make.

I use my 12 year old vehicle (Toyota Corolla) primarily for short trips (intracity transport). It has about 86,000 miles (probably more since I suspect the odometer was rolled back before purchase), and I drive on both good and bad (dusty) roads - in dense, bumper to bumper traffic (most of the time). I typically do not cover up to 5,000 miles before the maintenance required light comes on - the light usually comes on within 6 to 8 months after the last oil change. I would go bankrupt if I had to do an oil change every month!

I have another 11 year old vehicle driven under roughly similar conditions - but the car doesn't have an oil life monitor or a maintenance required light. It has about 126,000km and I do oil changes every 8 months or so on average. The car's still running fine.

As an aside, why does 20w 50 oil get such a bad rep? Brand new Toyotas sold in Nigeria as recently as 2012 have 20w 50 oils as one of the approved viscosities. If it is so bad why would Toyota approve it?

Kingsdave:
Thanks bro... Does it mean its faulty?

Every month is excessive (I'm assuming your engine doesn't have any problems). Most auto manufacturers recommend an oil change after thousands of kilometres (5,000 and above) or several months (6 months and above). Modern motor oil is designed around these specifications.

I believe US spec Hondas have oil life monitors. Not sure Euro spec models do - if they don't then your owners manual should have oil change intervals with values similar to what I mentioned above.
