A mechanic poured Total classic sae 40 in my 99 CRV, since then there seem to be little oil shortage after sometimes and the car now smokes a bit unlike before, even when I've changed to total quartz. Any advice? The engine works fine but shakes when Ac is turned high. no engine light on.
There is suggestion of verve adjustment for this model

18k or more depending on the grade.
Before replacing the compressor, try changing the seal, you may not need a replacement that way.

luvinhubby:
Catalyst performing below threshold, replace catalyst only.

Good day all. Gazzuzz or any other with similar experience, please what is ur advice on an 03 Honda Accord that consumes a lot of oil. The car doesn't smoke at all, nor is there any sign of oil leak, I've checked properly. Engine is still very neat at 84k on the odometer, car is barely 2 months.

nas00:
What specification of engine oil do you use?

I use the mobile super XHP 20w50. It has consumed 2 gallons, within a space of close to two months, and I don't use the car all the time.

Gurus please help a brother out @ Gazzuzz, kingreign.. I noticed a small leak at these areas of the engine, it extends to the metal part of the O2 sensor should I be concerned?.

2. What can I do to stop the leak? there's no malfunction code, I've not had to top up oil since I noticed the leak and the car drives well.

3. I've used MOBIL XHP for maintenance twice prior to that I've maintained LUBEX OIL could it be the change in oil grade?

Looks like rocker valve cover leaking due to worn out gasket Replace gasket and you're good to go.
