kasillars: The Mobil xhp that you usually use is it the one with blue cap? I guess hardex will be okay to use if you stick to your regular service pattern and regularly check your oil level in case of leaks or burning Those vtm and vsc lights may be related to your suspension but scan to pinpoint the issue 1 Like |

Honda Accord v6 Who have an experience of the car. I want to know the pros and cons |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by Collione: 8:16pm On Jan 07, 2022 |
Jamie1000: Amazing vehicle, very quick very reliable so long as it's maintained and my God it's super silent. Mine sounds like an electric vehicle from inside the cabin and Fuel consumption is very ok so long as all catalytic converters and o2 sensors are functioning properly. The only con that bothers me personally is that it uses timing belt. Maybe because it's my first timing belt car but then again all honda v6 uses timing belt. The engine is an interference engine meaning that if your timing belt snaps the piston will hit the valve and the valve will bend. But hey like everything else timing belts have change intervals and they last as long as 5 to 7 years or 70k miles so long as you get the original. I enjoy mine and my preventive measure is for my mechanic to inspect my timing belt every 4 months 1 Like 1 Share |

kasillars: I personally dislike hardex oil but I guess it works for others . I'd rather go for coastal oil to be honest . Vtm4 is referring to your axle . It could be bad or the fluid inside is low, empty or requires replacement. You need to get your mechanic to find out which. When my CRV had that light on, I found my self replacing the axle cos I never knew it uses fluid . Wasn't cheap. |

Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by Collione: 8:37am On Jan 08, 2022 |
Jamie1000: Oil consumption can happen even to 4 cylinder engines same as misfire and transmission issues. Just ensure you are getting a v6 from year 06 upward and use only honda dw1 genuine fluid from reliable sources. Avoid buying an abused vehicle. |

Peppermintflav: Congrats also check if the reservoir cover and the hose connection is good. Your radiator cover isn't looking so clean so I'm wondering how the inside may be. If it's having a clay colour I suggest flushing it after your test is done 1 Like |

kasillars: Hardex is good oil. But you need to share with us your vehicle millage and The API rating of that hardex. We need this to know it's suitability for your car |

BoyiBernard: I tap from your blessings ooo. Very beautiful ride. Make God open way for me too make I buy this beat too. So long as it's tokunbo you can use any. Yes 5w20 is recommended but 5w30 won't hurt it either. However please don't use substandard fluids. Use popular name brands with good API and dexos rating. Oils like mobile, liqui moly, Pennzoil, super tech, valvoline are very nice . Ensure you get it from a reliable source in order to avoid stories Coolant is recommended get the OEM from luvinhubby. If your routes aren't filled with bad roads and you vont carry load you can leave ity car is as high as yours However you can get bigger tyres if you Wana increase your clearance. Id say you should change your transmission fluid every 2 years of you drive very frequently I. Order to keep it clean and lubricated. High temperature causes transmission fluids to oxidize quickly. The more it oxidizes the quicker it deteriorates 5 Likes 1 Share |
