    Honda VCM Disabling Questions

    Confirmed: The S-VCM doesn’t work on my 2022 MDX type s. Not sure if all the j series DOHC engines will react the same or not

    Honda VCM Disabling Questions

    I got the app installed and the obd2 dongle today. I can’t find the PID for cylinder count. Is this something special?

    Honda VCM Disabling Questions

    So, funny you mention this. I have a 2022 MDX type S with the J30AC. 3.0 turbo charged. It has VCM and I installed S-VCM on my MDX over the winter time and I swear that it doesn’t work. I should say that the S-VCM works as intended, lowering the coolant temp to 165 degrees, but I swear the...

    '19 Tacoma Cold Air Intake - Exciting

    And this is why I don’t come here very often any more. If any one does anything that’s not oem or downsizing wheels and tires your all over them like stink on ****.

    Oil changes for warranty

    I’d think that would be more proof than a store receipt. I could buy oil and filter and never change my oil vs a time stamped picture of my license plate and used oil.

    Oil changes for warranty

    I forgot to mention that I do have 4 gallons of HPL and I would like to use HPL being that this engine is turbocharged and direct injected. Also, I don’t mind bringing it in for certain services just because

    Oil changes for warranty

    I purchased a 2022 CPO Acura MDX Type S back in July and a CPO car comes with a 100,000 mile power train warranty. I asked service about doing my own oil changes and how that would effect warranty in case I ever need to use it. They simply said that as long as I have documentation of it being...

    Honda 3.5L owners heads up

    It’s a bad batch of engines. The weight of the oil doesn’t make a difference in this situation

    Volvo dealer used abrasive wheel to clean engine sump

    Sounds like the fiasco I had at Acura. They made it right in the end but it took a lot of fighting.

    Airbags failed to deploy! How common?

    That is completely wrong. Side bags deployed all the time in a side impact.
