Car Talk › Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by vivalavida(m): 1:44pm On Oct 02, 2022
chrisatah94:
Good morning @all

Please I got a toks Honda Civic 09 barely 2months... Being a newbie & since it's a personal ride for just everyday simple runs like to & fro for work, shopping when needs be etc..I planned to be using the recommended engine oil (which I tried to know earlier but didn't get info). So my friend recommended I bought mobil 20w-50. But I just confirmed the recommended oil for the civic is 5w-20. My question now is
1. Will it be wise to flush out the old and put in new 5w (giving the popular opinion that one should ensure to continue using same type of oil you started with to prevent quick damage of your engine)

2. The car has a ridiculously low ground clearance and it hits the ground frequently when I navigate around undulating terrain. Even the bottom left of the front bumper is showing crack already due to the impact of hitting the ground. Please will you recommend I go to lift the car or probably change to bigger tyres/rims?

3. Since day one of buying the car, it shows this spanner sign on the dashboard and doesn't show anything on that milage display area. (Meanwhile know immediately we bought it we change all the necessary oil and transmission fluid). Please is that something I should worry about, what are the implications...also how do I get that fixed

4. I'm in Abuja please...if you recommend I visit a car fixing shop... Please if possible kindly recommend me someone that is good with Honda

Thanks in anticipation of your response
I will only comment on the spanner issue. It means the car is due for servicing. When you change your oil, you are supposed to reset the oil life. When you reset it, the spanner will be gone. But since you didn't do that, just continue using it and meanwhile go through ur car manual or check videos online on how to reset the oil life of your car. When you now do another servicing, reset it.

They said I need to get a new gearbox

I just have to do that

#130k
Did you try scanning that car?

Don't just rush to change gear. Learn to scan your car before u start throwing money around.
I bought my car april this year. I changed all fluid except gear fluid. All was good till on july 10 my D started blinking when driving. I called my mechanic and he asked me to drive carefully home. Next day, I went to his office. He checked it and said the oil was due for change. We bought honda Dw-1 and changed it and I took it out for a drive and the D started blinking again. I took it back and he loosed one part and cleaned it very well with carb cleaner. Said water touched those parts. Seems it is called a gear switch or so. That was when it rained very well earlier this year and many parts of lagos was flooded and i was ignorantly swimming through water as if my car was a submarine. After cleaning it, we took it for a drive. then scanned and saw an error code and he cleared the error code. Till today sept 28th, My D has not blinked again and my gear selects good and fine. I also learnt to avoid swimming through water because honda gears are down according to him and water is not good for it. I even have my own portable Bluetooth scanner now. So easy. Scan your car first.

Good job.


But when is the IGP ordering the arrest of one Mr. Peter pandora who commited a National crime of presenting a forged and edited certificate to the general public of Nigeria.

He should be prosecute on bases of Certificate forgery, gross public misleading and false pretence among others


Shalom.
How do you feel being used as an instrument to spread false news? Is it that you don't care or your soul and everything about you, even your integrity can be paid to become compromised?
The truth stares you in the face but u deliberately look away while churning out lies upon lies for people who don't even give a hoot about your existence. You are just a vuvuzela to tell lies for them and at the end they will discard you to the rubbish where you and your ilks belong.

I scanned the car myself. The only error code is catalytic converter error which has nothing to do with transmission.
What kind of scanner did u use to scan it?
These bluetooth scanners don't pick up transmission issues oo.
Go to where u have high end scanners.
Car Talk › Re: Honda Civic 2007 With Check Engine Light Blinking. by vivalavida(m):
I will suspect your plugs and ignition coils.
Seems your car is misfiring.
Buy a portable scanner. With that you can pinpoint some of these issues.
Had same issues sometime ago and my scanner narrowed it to my coils. Check engine light was blinking and car was moving roughly.
Scanned it and changed the coil and everything became normal.
So scan your car before you do anything on it.

The best option is to write a letter and present it to your boss stating why you want to quit as a result of your innocency that you cannot work in a place where you are not trusted.

You quoted me first with this nonsense on my own thread and now you want to hide your hands and play the usual ad hominem - make this about me or whatever you wish I am going through. I have no hate for you. I just wish you can be smart enough to keep your bullshit away from me. Thank you.

This Half-British brand, MG, used to build supercars back in the days and they returned with daily drivers and the price of their flagship is shocking! Imagine owning a car easy-peasy in this Buhari economy and with features you’d find in a Porsche!

Conner44:
Let’s start from the beginning, you said your tank was empty , how did you conclude it was empty?

When a vehicle has an empty tank of fuel it won’t start and run Or if it runs empty while driving its engine will shut off due to the fuel pump not reaching any fuel in the bottom to supply to the injectors and you’d have to clear off the road or push the vehicle to a safe corner before you go and start looking for fuel to buy.

So from your initial post you claim your tank was empty and I ask HOW EXACTLY DID YOU DETERMINE IT WAS EMPTY? was it because your orange reserve fuel light came on in your dashboard OR your vehicle stopped abruptly in the middle of the road while you were driving?
Conner44 don hold u for coner today.
Better come and answer rhis question.
