Both your upstream and downstream oxygen sensors are malfunctioning. Hence the reason for your cars high fuel consumption. O2 sensors are responsible for the air:fuel ratio of your car to measure the mixture of fuel to air burned.

Also post on the thread below for more responses from other experts.

Everything there are culprits, Map sensor & oxygen sensors 1 & 2

The consumption is that high because all three items detected are supply fuel related & relate the info to your brain box to increase or decrease fuel consumption and any malfunction on both can trigger an abnormal increase in fuel supply.

What's the solution and can you recommend anyone that can do it in ibadan
Thanks.

Please post a pic of the original ATF container, it will make more sense. At least person fit carry am enter market to avoid buying the fakes which is all over. Thanks.

Below is what I found on Amazon, same as the one I used last. Seems it’s fake.

This is what the batch codes looks like. For me it's not enough to be sure it's original or not cos that one sef na simple thing for the counterfeiters.

I totally agree with you. For instance, I have never seen 'code numbers' with font as big and bold as the one you posted here.

Attached is a pic of one from a carton of 12 I shipped from the USA. It is half faded, but you can appreciate the difference. Still not sure if na original sef.

The appearance of the batch codes varies depending on plant.
The texture of the container is also another way to know

If is not a damaged fuse or open circuit then the best solution is to replace both sensors.

Check the engine oil cap ......example pic below

For accord it should be 5w20... It says it on the oil cap...

Transmission fluid pic below ....... Do not joke with the transmission fluid.. It has to be what the manufacturer tells u ... To avoid stories that touch ...... Talking from experience I have few Honda Civics 03 to 05 on uber..

I hope the accord is tokunbo and not naija used ......

Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by Originakalokalo(m): 5:09pm On Sep 14, 2021
have questions that have bothered me for a while.....

1. What's a Belgium engine?

2. If I buy a Belgium engine of Honda Accord 2007 for instance, is the engine 14 years old? ( 2007 when it was produced to 2021)

3. were all the engines of All Honda Accord 2007 produced in 2007?

That takes me back to question Number 1,

What is a Belgium engine?

Should I treat a Belgium engine of Honda Accord 2007 as high milage engine since "it was produced 14years ago?"

Gurus in the house....

Kindly give your inputs.

Before an engine can be said to be ‘high mileage’ it should have been used to power a vehicle further than at least 100,000 miles according to the vehicle manufacturers and it should be above 75,000 miles according to engine oil manufacturers (for warranty purposes) while individuals who utilize these engines usually see their vehicles as being of a higher mileage once they are in the 150,000 - 200,000 miles range because a properly maintained engine (from a manufacturer like Honda) usually surpasses the 500,000 miles range.

The 2007 Honda Accord uses either a K24A engine or a J30 engine. Different variations of these engines were used in Honda Accord models from the years 2003 - 2012. These engines all look alike with similar tops and bottoms but their main differences were in compression numbers and their throttle actuation modes (electrical or drive by wire)

In reality one can use the engines interchangeably between the Accord models but the only differences are if your vehicles ecu uses the cable or electronic throttle mode. So the engine top and bottom should work but you may need to switch the throttle body and/or intake manifold for it to be a perfect match.

An engine made in 2010 should have a lesser mileage than that made in 2003 all things being equal. That is why it is good to have a vin check on any tokumbo engine you wish to buy to determine the mileage, year and model of manufacture of that particular engine before buying it.

I will advise you to use a normal synthetic engine oil of the required weight for a tokumbo engine and if there are leaks handle it but if it’s burning then switch to the high mileage type before ever considering a higher weight of oil as a solution.
