Appreciate the advice! I was also going to do a compression leakdown test too, a V6 timing belt is pretty intimidating to me, not like a D15 lol. So I'll wind up paying, neighbor has a 2012 V6 and just did the belt, serp belt, water pump, tensioner, etc, bill was cheaper than the dealer, but at...

You S.O.B lol 😂. Goddammit I wanna msg the guy again and scream at him some more, BUT, I'm one of those everything happens for a reason guys that believes in karma, so you may hate that train of thought or not, but I firmly believe I drove to just outside The Bronx with a pocket full of cash...

I have noticed that even getting into VTEC somewhat often, this engine uses no oil, big difference from the high performance 4 cyl DOHCs. H22 between changes used about 2 quarts or more after I fixed the leaks, and the K24A2 would use 1, maybe 1.5 between changes. You're right, I do overthink...

Nice! 2 days before getting my 6 6 I got ghosted on a 6spd Type S with the waffle wheels in that sweet blue, I don't think it was Super Sonic blue, but I'm sure you know the color I'm referring to. Sorry, forgot that the J32 was the previous gen. Gotta grab an intake manifold from a scrapyard...

That TL is a J32 right? Strange how your experience with it differs so much from mine, we have basically the same engine just you have .2 liter on my J30 and a better flowing intake manifold.

So, theoretically, I can use the MM as a rough guide since I use strictly full synthetic, Pennzoil Platinum or Platinum Plus exclusively is what I'm getting. Thinking that a change in March just before my layoff ends April 1st will be sufficient, then another in September as it will be 6 months...

Thanks TmanP, that makes a lot of sense. The TSX I did a 80iah mile RT commute with, now I work locally so it's more like a 20 mile RT. 2x a week from a few weeks ago I do a 50-60 RT to an appointment for my wife, aside from that latter RT, being that it's winter I'm laid off, so sometimes my...

Hello, been lurking and learning lots here over the years, have a question for the members here. On the '07 V6 6MT Accord (J30), is the maintenance minder regarding oil life simply mileage driven, or is there an actual viscosity sensor? My '06 TSX with a K24A2 had a viscosity sensor, and...

Reminds me of the "Premium Sound" paper speakers that used to be in my TSX🤔

Same here, my Interstate bit the dust last week, no blems at the distributor so I figured I'd use Advance. Only discount applicable on batteries is your own points, whatever they're called. That 20% banner is no good, that code you got in a text isn't either. Calling to see if any blems or...

Lots here that I didn't know about Interstate, I thought that they were their own entity from concept to retail sale. That said, I've been going to the Interstate distributor in my area for years now, always ask for blems or refurbs. Blems always have lasted until I sell the car, the EconoPower...

Us people with classic Honda's do (1998 Prelude). Us people with newer Honda's do too(2006 TSX). I guess us suckers that follow the recommended maintenance? Makes me sleep better, so it gets done.
