Car TalkRe: Dashboard Light Issues by osato45: 9:30am On Jun 14, 2020
kaze4blues:
Thank you.

What of the recommended brake oil?

By complete drain, you mean whatever is inside must first be drained off before the new one is introduced.

Kindly assist with the contact for luvinhubby
yes thats what i meant. well you can ask him which brake oil is appropriate as my manual isn't close to me to check. Here are his digits +2348029255299,

he is a honda parts dealer in lagos and runs a thread for honda maintainace on nairaland https://www.nairaland.com/996664/maintenance-tips-honda-cars/237

SHABZ:
Both statements are correct. In my first 4 years of using the car, there were no really issues. Only expensive thing I bought was the engine oil (I use full synthetic). However, maintenance cost in the last 2 years have been pretty high, because I do overhauls during maintenance (car is now used for 6 years and counting in Nigeria). Sweet sweet ride, just make sure you have a reliable parts seller and mechanic. I use all Honda recommended fluids, maintain a maintenance schedule of 6 months, and a both a scanner too, to diagnose any maltfunction light that appears on the dash.
could you break down the things that are done during overhauls?

I heard the DC V6 usually has transmission issues, how true is this?
well my 2006 dc v6 hasn't given me any transmission issue since it was purchased 6 years ago. I have only had to drain the old transmission oil and poured 4.5 litres of fresh brand new honda dw1 transmission oil in 2017, when i noticed that there was some drag on acceleration during gear change

Do you have a reliable mechanic?

Please advice. I'm getting a 2006 DC foreign used. I need all the suggestions I can get.

Thank you.
use the required engine oil weight for servicing 5w20

Whenever you want to service your transmission, use the recommended honda dw1 transmission oil.

Pay close attention to sounds coming from the two front tires, so you know when you have a bad ball joint and replace immediately with honda oem ball joints.

I have driven the 2003-2007 models for about 7 years now and once I have a bad ball joint, I know.

Use the recommended honda power steering fluid too.

For fluids and oil you can always get them from persons on nairaland, even when you can't get it around you.

Heavensent01:
bro if I want to get a Nigeria used golf 3 from someone. what do you suggest I should do or look up to in this ownership of a things


does the change of ownership call for a new plait number?
let the current name of the vehicle licence particulars match the name on the plate number.

You can carry the car documents plus the purchase agreement and go to the nearest licencing office in your locality, explain to them your intentions of wanting to do a change of ownership

Then they would tell you what is obtainable.

Note that if they aren't going to give you a new plate number, do not bother doing it there,

just send the particulars to me, and I would do the running around for you in benin but it would cost you, but you would get your car registered in your name with a new plate number to that effect

Cleaning the injector works. Also ensure your tyres are properly gauged. 35/40 psi. Then try not to exceed 2.5rpm when accelerating. It worked for me. Although I drive an i-vtec
whats your current mpg for city drive
Car TalkRe: Help! My Honda Accord 2006 Gulps Fuel by osato45: 9:22am On Jun 07, 2020
SHABZ:
The weight of your engine oil matters. Use the recommended weight. Also, inflate your tyres to the recommended pressure. Remove excess weight from your car. Monitor the service station you buy fuel from. Drive gently, do not accelerate or brake harshly. Maintain you vehicle constantly and use a competent mechanic.

I use a 2007 Honda Accord V6 and I get fantastic fuel economy
I went as far as using honda oil 5w20, and I didn't see any improvements in my mpg. Right now, I try to drive gently to see if i would get any improvement, my tires are within the 30/40psi, i have a competent mechanic, i also buy fuel from two service stations because their pumps are better. I have no excess weight in the car. I am exploring cleaning my injectors after changing my 6 plugs to brand new ngk iridium plugs. What's you mpg from full to half tank for city drive?

It depends on the state, and if the car is an suv or a saloon, you would be given a new number plate in your own name. It could cost between 28 and 40k

You think say Masters na Montesorri ? Or Nursery school? Somebody not get money, you dey talk of Masters, I no understand Nigerians o. Because God bless some of una with parents wey dey okay, una no dey see life from another angle at all. You expect somebody like me that was doing brick molding job to go through university, to now be looking for masters when I haven't gotten any reasonable thing to do abi? Na by force to advice person?
OP I pray you find a connection. My biggest regret is not balling properly in the Uni, just because they said I should try and make 2:1.
After the 2.1 nobody has ever asked me what my grade is when I submit my CV. Na Shango go punish our leaders wey turn Naija like this
Apparently your education was a waste, information they say is power. Keep blaming our leaders while smart individuals make good use of the information I provided.

Thanks guy for the feedback. I noticed that when I changed my pattern of driving to 'cruising' and not exceeding 50km/h. I have been able to save a reasonable amount of fuel. But it still hurts seeing a rickety car overtake me. But I have to respect my pocket in this recession period.
I drive a v6 2006 accord dc and I average 100 - 120 miles from full to half tank, what solution did you apply that worked, did cleaning of your injector work?
Car TalkRe: My Corolla Is Consuming Fuel by osato45:

I drive in Lagos, headquarters of traffic.

Just buy platinum iridium plugs brand new, and make sure your fans come on and off as manufacturer intended
despite changing to brand new ngk iridium plugs last week, i still average 100-125 miles from full tank to half way line.

My check light only came on because my fuel pump went bad after replacing it, the check light disappeared.

I feel this is the best I can get from the ride, as i read someone's 2016 thread here, of his dc averaging 100 - 125 miles from full to half tank and his car was an i4 not a v6 like mine.

I provided the link so you could read through and see: https://www.nairaland.com/3388593/honda-accord-2006-gulps-fuel

Going forward, i intend to reduce the force with which I accelerate, as i learnt it causes the car to burn more fuel.
