Asquare84: I personally drive an accord 2007 v6 and it's awesome. The fuel consumption is very ok and the maintenance is ok. In this part of the world honda v6 particularly has low resale value because it's a honda with a v6 engine. That car is very powerful, balanced, fast and doesn't vibrate due to AC load. If you are in Lagos and you wish to use the car everyday to and fro your office then it may not make economic sense because of the traffic here however I'll reiterate the fuel consumption isn't that bad. I use to own a 4 cylinder eod and since I switched to the v6 I really don't notice much difference. Just make sure you get a good unit with complete catalytic converters. Inspect the timing belt. Make sure it's not abused 1 Like |

bjt: Fix your rack and continue having peace of mind. Don't just meet anyhow person. Let a professional fixer handle it. Ask for a warranty if you must. For the first 2 months use oando at for for the steering just for test proposes. If it passed, kindly get the original Honda power steering fluid 1 Like |

agoodman: Synthetic oils can go longer . Use miles to measure instead. You can do 5k safely so long as the oil is original. Make sure it's fully synthetic from top brands . Biko don't buy the cheap stuff then run it for too long ooo |

WycliffeSMB: Synthetic blend is a mixture of conventional oil with fully synthetic while fully synthetic stands tall. Fully synthetic is best in every way and doesn't cause sludge build up like conventional. Fully synthetic can be driven for longer miles compared to semi synthetic while semi synthetic beats conventional. It all depends on your pocket cos semi synthetic still gets the job done and it's pocket friendly. In reality I have used both and they are awesome though I'd never advice anyone to use conventional oil. Fully synthetic and semi synthetic is the way to go. 1 Like |

brosiye99: Take your time to listen to it so that you can better pin point the source of the sound. Right now we aren't sure if it's at the front or back, left or right. |

WycliffeSMB: Buy Mobil 2000 5w30 from any Mobil fuel station. Drive it for 2k miles or slightly more. Check for ouk shortages weekly or daily depending on your paranoia also monitor for leaks since it's a used vehicle. If everything is cool then you can get a more expensive fully synthetic or semi synthetic oil. Note Mobil 2000 5w30 is also semi synthetic and very good. Oh , Castrol, Mobil 1, liqui moly, Pennzoil, supertech, shell rotella, royal purple, valvoline. The listed are world renowned so you can't go wrong with any so long as you get it from a reliable source. 1 Like |

Toylove: I'd guess the throttle body needs servicing or replacing but then again I always advise that the cars be scanned first. Rpm surge can be caused by a number of things but if it's me I'd service my throttle body first |

cmoney22222: It's your choice however liqui moly is too high end to be replaced every 3 months. This is what I do. If I buy a fully synthetic fluid that says 10k miles for example, I divide that value by two meaning I'll change my oil at 4000 or 5000 miles although I don't know how often you drive but I personally barely drive and I serviced my car since December 2021 and till now I'm yet to service my car cos IV only done 1600 miles and my oil is original supertech fully synthetic fluid. My advice is if you have a good grade oil like liqui moly , you can safely do 4k or even more miles without having to spend so much. But ultimately it's your choice. Always ensure you get a quality oil filter if you are the type that uses fluids for longer miles |

quam9997: Can you take a picture of the area? |
Car Talk / Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by Collione: 12:30pm On Aug 09, 2022 |
quam9997: 5w30 though it isn't the recommend grade , it's not too far off so you can use it comfortably anytime you can't find 0w20. Basically you can use 5w30, 5w20, 0w30 but most preferably 0w20. In the future if you can't find 0w20, please look for 5w20 next then 0w30 then maximum 5w30 in this order . If you are in Lagos you can call 0703 166 2339 for your semi synthetic or fully synthetic fluid. He also does doorstep delivery |
Car Talk / Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by Collione: 11:56am On Aug 09, 2022 |
quam9997: It uses 0w20 oil. Just get any original 0w20 engine oil. You can reach out to luvinhubby too |

YourHighTension: Now the issue you are experiencing is caused by the rocker arm sensor. Tell your mechanic to service it and ensure that the wires have no issues. If he does it and you test it, it should be rectified however if it continues then you need to replace it. Whenever the Rocker arm sensor fails you won't be able to over rev it will hook at 2k or max 3k rpm . If you force the rpm, the car will jerk as if you have gear problem but trust me your gear is fine. You also need to meet a good qualified mechanic to find out what's wrong with your other sensors cos your car isn't performing optimally |

kingreign:. I stay at Ejigbo which is close to 7&8 and I sell scan tools for 5k. Avoid driving the car till you scan and get it fixed and I hope and pray that you have been using Toyota's recommend transmission fluid. Though this issue can be caused by anything |

Brightexeva: Well so long as you are using the correct specified oil and you really are noticing leaks please fix it. The leak may seam little but allow a competent mechanic to determine that because the specified oil will leak out easily due to its lightness and the engine will dry out the ones that leaked giving you a facade as though it isn't much but since it's 1 quart every 3k miles which actually isn't too bad and you don't want a quack to end your cars life then you can top it every 3k miles . Jus ensure you check your oil level every week or biweekly. 1 Like |

YourHighTension: Scan your vehicle if it has the check engine light on. When you get the code please snap it or share the accurate codes here for assistance |

petrusevents: Well anyone in the house can correct me if I am wrong but I'd suspect your fuel pump first because it's rare for all cylinders to misfire at the same time. Try clearing your check engine light then drive around..if the code reappears then scan again just to be double sure |

Joythah: I'm sure your check engine light is on please scan your vehicle however if your car can not rev past 3k rpm on motion just know that your VTEC solenoid which is usually located behind the engine is dirty, damaged or have wiring issue. Basically it's the VTEC solenoid but scan the car regardless 1 Like |
