Please let me post my own problem here too. my Honda accord consumes a lot of fuel, i can't even use it for bolt again cuz i make little or no profit considering fuel price now in town. I'm taking it to a mechanic tomorrow to check what could be the issue. Then again, oil leakage which i have worked on it recently but i keep toping oil every 2weeks.

Fuel consumption is always to tied to emission systems, catalyst/O2 sensor, in some cases, PCV valve, maf sensor or knock sensor. If your combustion is good, fuel consumption is minimizer also, plugs & nozzles.

If low oil level is persistent without visible leak, engine rings may be weak & engine burns oil.

By the way, a Civic or City will give you better fuel mileage for more cab hailing profit

Yeah, once those ‘jaga-jaga’ numbers start showing on the dashboard and a simple fluid change didn’t solve your issue then it’s to change the gearbox. How I wish I saw those symbols sooner I’d have told you what’s up.

Go through luvinhubby for another cvt transmission. He’s in the market right there where they sell it.



Thank you .. will contact Luvin hubby and give you feedback

If it reads fine, you can reuse.
Most of the so called tokunbo units were all cleaned.

Did you take the car for exhaust repair?

I suspect blockage as well, pls, how do I unblock it without damaging it, because the cat is just 1 and its 3 months old. Thanks.

Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by berbs112(m): 6:46pm On Jan 28, 2023
Good Evening everyone. I have Honda Accord 05. Yesterday evening while I was to get fuel at the filling station, each time I followed the queue I noticed oil where I moved my car, I went under my car to check, it was from my car and I concluded it was the power steering oil without even touching to feel or check the color of the oil. This morning before I get to crank the car, I decided to Guage my engine oil, I realized there's little or no oil in the engine. I checked the sump no leakage from the sump but I could see oil behind the sump. How could this be? The last job I did on the car engine was the IVtec racing sensor which was serviced couple of days ago when the car started jerking when the RPM is going above 3000.

What could be the cause or where is the leakage coming from?

If you got the catalyst 3 months ago and it's blocked again, then it's either you bought a wire mesh as a catalyst or your car is running so rich or burning oil so bad that it has blocked the system with carbon or oil.
Ask your mechanic to take out the catalyst to inspect. You run a risk of damaging your engine if you keep driving with a blocked exhaust.

Remote diagnosis would be difficult.
Your mechanic needs to go under the car to physically inspect where the leak is coming from.
I've seen oil filter housing leak so that before.
Physical inspection is your best bet.

Thanks for your reply , I took it for a paint job. Engine oil was due and I replaced oil but check engine didn't leave so I scanned and the codes popped up.

Could it be the 02 sensors or is it catalytic converter
