How often should I change my automatic gear oil?

inze:
Someone somewhere has got something bad to say about any car whatsoever, the main question is who's talking and who's listening.

5years straight now, no leg pull. Take good care of your vehicle and it'll serve.

Pls house I need your advise. My sister's Honda Accord 2003(Eod)has been shorting engine oil lil by lil and there is no leak that we could see on the floor, she doesn't drive it always and no smoke except if raced down. We believe the engine is still good cus it drives well, may be we are wrong but any idea pls..

Note that: she always used AZ oil for meinteinance but recently used Mobil oil and that's when she started noticing the shortage. I was the one who detected it. Pls any info on this?

afuyebusayo:
Pls which engine oil is best for Honda EOD 2005.?

laithanman:
Thanks boss

The power loss thing started after I steam washed then engine.
It started with engine misfiring which my mechanic advised I change the spark plugs and did some setting on it. It then stabilizes but looses power climbing hill. It difficult climbing hill that it doesn't kickdown to speed up but stays in that particular gear and drags up d hill

1. It revs to almost 3000 rpm b4 gear shift. There is enough transmission oil in d gear boxear.

2. The car loose power when climbing hill. I have serviced the throttle body, injector mouth, cleaned the airflow meter but no improvement.

3. AC is not working, even the blower does not turn on. Blower was pulled out and tested OK.

the amber light will come on not necessarily based on volume of fuel, but based on other factors calculated by engine ecu.

GAZZUZZ:
My method is, buy fuel put for gallon (10liters) drive till fuel finish (at you own risk), pour your 10liters reset counter to 0, drive till fuel finishes again (if you have sense keep extra gallon of fuel in boot) now calculate.

The car auto revs on its own in park and neutral . Once you start it, goes Voom! Voom! Voom! With the tach going up and down continously

It jerks with a thud, when changing from park to reverse or from neutral to drive

On motion, the vehicle drives itself as there is no throttle response and does not exceed 40km/hr. There is also a slight thud when it shifts from gear 1-2 and when downshifting too. I can only control it with the brake at this point. The engine sound is also very high.

jimohibrahim:
It has been repaired. The only problem now is that it's only one of my AC vent that is cold the rest are cold normal air. What could be the cause?

Flyingman:
I have an issue with my power steering system. It keeps vomiting fluid and this reduces the level making the pump come up with the whining noise. In seeking for a quick cheap fix. I had the hose connecting to the rack replaced and yet the situation hasn’t changed. When it’s observed with engine on. The fluid swirl round with no foaming. When the wheel is turned, it goes up a bit with no vomiting but when driven. A noticeable amount of fluid is observed all over the reservoir.

Do I have a bad power steering pump? The pump has been worked on before but works perfectly when the fluid level is at max. It’s a 2008 4cyl accord. Also, is it normal for the steering fluid to spin heavily in the reservoir?

Move2:

Hello all, please anywhere I can get the original Honda dw1 transmission fluid in Ibadan.
Thanks

scarr:
I am about to pay for a Civic 03, I noticed the D light blinking.
Called "kazeem", he said the gear needs servicng that the oil isn't "guaged".

Oga Gazuz said d blinking is a fault on the gear, any idea where I can scan this car in Abuja or an affordable device to buy to determine the real problem.

This would go a long way for me in buying this car

Ogas in the house


Please, this socket has been dangling since I bought my car Nigerian used, I've searched to see where it's supposed to fit into but can't find. My mechanic too doesn't know where it fits and said I leave it like that.


Where does the socket fit into pls?

mcevans1:
It has affected my fuel economy seriously. Please where can I find a reputable technician to fix this issue? I'm located in Lagos. Please help!!

mcevans1:
Yes, there was a day the AC stopped blowing cold. I went to refill it only to find out the compressor wasn't running. The AC man called a rewire who checked my wires, worked around the fuse box but couldn't find anything. He had to connect the compressor directly to the relay switch under the hood with a wire. I later found out the reason why the compressor refused to work was as a result of a blown fuse. I replaced it with a new one but I didn't disconnect the wiring under the hood so as not to mess up my car. Could this be the reason why the temperature kept fluctuating? The fans start running immediately I turn ignition on too. The cat wasn't acting like this before not until that rewire did that stuff.

mcevans1:
I drive a 2003 Acura TL Type S. The temperature needle rises anytime I'm stuck in traffic with AC on most especially during hot afternoons. The needle returns to its normal position when I turn off air con. Mechanic said my thermostat is bad which I replaced but the problem is still there. My fans are working perfectly and the radiator is clean. He adviced I change the car radiator to a double cell and everything would return to normal. Please advice.

GAZZUZZ:
chief! Greetings.

Large Front and rear mounts are usually the vibration culprits, the do not necessarily have to be torn to be bad, most times the vibration is caused when the rubber part has compressed beyond its normal height and now the metal part is resting on the hard side of the mount, (more like metal resting on metal) In cases like this, when you detach front and rear mounts, you will see markings of the top of the mount from the aluminum brackets from the engine.

crv 08 and it's when I turn the steering either right or left that I hear the knock noise.
