@kuntash
dont even get me started on ur german,em well i wont mention them.

@igbsam
pl can u share with us some of the sign of problems with the Power Steering Pump?
a colleague of mine said i shud check my power steering oil,said the steering dose not feel
soft enough.car drives/steers fine for me.
i checked the oil and it looks like normal ATF to me,not that i know what bad looks like u know

@pak
thanks a lot,i actually asked around here too and everybody seems to be saying the same thing ie Wheelbalancing+alignment.
i see to it asap

@igbsam
about ur plan to top up the oil,i read it somewhere that its not a gud idea.topping off i mean
heard its best to drain and replace is as a whole.not so sure about it,so u may want to crosscheck.

@all thanks for pitching in,more contributions pls
would have made some replies earlier but my Internet connection had been a real pain
in the neck

@auto doctor
he used it as an engine oil
i asked ppl around and they said it could be used as such but all the same,i had it replaced withe the mobil xhp today(with the assistance of a kindly mechanic)

@cobbler thanks

@autodoctor, thanks for your concern,
of course i dont intent using it for the gear,the only reason i made any reference to the
transmission was to give a better description of the car in question.ie manual and not the relatively more
common automatic

i intend draining the engine oil myself and replacing the oil, could you put me thru on how/what to
open under the engine?(ie in order to release the expired oil)
pictures will be appreciated

thanks kuntash,i'l c to the wheel balancing amd let u know what comes of it.

one final question for today
which engine oils are good for servicing a manual tranny EOD?
I gave mine to a mech and he poured "ABRO ATF TYPE A"
i got it back a day later and the check engine light has since been on
in about a week the oil has turned very dark

now bought a Mobil Oil much praised by guys here.
its written xhp and 20-50w on it,planned to replace the ABRO with the mobil tomoro morn
what do u think?

@kuntash tanks 4 the compliment
ur mercedes benz thread was an inspiration along with posts from seal777

pl kindly help with this prob,my car a 2003 EOD,vibrates whenever am on high speed
i usually observe this whenever i go above 14okm/h.
At speeds below this point,the drive is smooth
i was told by a colleague that i have to do the alignment+wheel balancing,
is that the case?

@intanyx here's the link
https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-809262.0.html#msg9611887

Having recently acquired my dream, EOD 03,I ran into the minor issues
not unexpected as a first time owner and i did what the average nairalander will do.
i ran,tail-between-legs
to my dearest nl,only to be surprised there,s no single thread dedicated to addressing
something as ubiquitous as the honda car

so guys kindly pitch in
post ur honda issues,solutions,experiences,tutorials ,,, anything but sales please
thanks

@intanyx, here we go

that's d spirit man,
will put a link to it here shortly

thanks man,
I'l sure give him a try,the diagnosis appears even more affordable than i was expecting
guys on nl here usually mention 5k and above

also what do you think?am thinking of starting a Honda Thread just to share info,probs,solutions
on honda issues here.i mean anything honda bar sales
was really surprised i couldnt find such a thread on nl

thanks intanyx
i'l really like to try them out.
pl like how much does the diagnosis cost?
any long queues?will i have to leave the car with them?
am asking all this cos like i said earlier,i dont stay in kad town for now
expecting ur reply

Also can anybody provide me with a link to a honda thread on nairaland?
i came across a benz thread the other day and it looks so informative

I recently bought a 2003 accord manual transmission and all seems well initially
but i gave it to a mechanic for routine service and on getting it back, the
infamous check engine light is now on!

Also a more experienced friend of mine drove it and said the steering feels a little stiff,
advised me to check the Power steering oil,as a certified JJC on this matters,dont even
know where to look

I work in a remote area of Kaduna so i need a decent Mech in kd to help go over this baby
with a fine toothed comb

Any piece of advice will be appreciated
thanks
