I understand with short trips, but honestly I am driving about 15 miles one way. Engine is being turned on at the start to get it warm, then I go on my way. After that yes it is mostly EV mode, so the engine is not on, but does turn on occasionally. Maybe all that adds up to short trip motor...

It's not really summer yet. I would be so shocked if the vehicle smelled like gas with a lot of driving when the motor is in operation. However I charge at home, and I charge when I get to work. My battery is always full and I am driving on electric predominantly. So that's why I am kind of...

It's not short tripping. The car functions strange, I do not like for the engine to turn on when it's completely cold. So I when I leave my house I basically put the car in hybrid mode and let the engine turn on and let it warm up for 2 mins. When my battery is fully charged it always keeps...

Never dealt with a carb engine, my first car I learned how to self care for was a 1999 honda accord. Kept that engine spotless, oil would go in almost the way it would come out and I would beat the living daylights out of that car. Since I started driving, and since my parents do the same, I...

Honest it's based on preference. I really like bridgestone and firestone as they are japanese. Usually those japs have good technology like the car. So far two of my favorite tires have been from firestone, potenza and there firehawk line. Use them regularly. Also as it may be a hassle always...

I got a bit of confusion going on here, I originally joined these forums because I was worried about fuel diluting my oil. My vehicle is a 2018 honda clarity plug in. So I do a lot of driving on electric, and now recently have been mixing it up with hybrid mode to prolong my battery in highway...

New here, so they do ATF as well? I want to send my ATF for analysis. You are saying they have a huge data base, do I send in two samples, my OEM ATF plus the one that came out of the transmission for comparison, or do they already have that information? @Donald TBN is the acidity? probably...

Well you must remember that companies always go with these thinner oils for fuel economy. I am not expert, or professional, only going by strictly what i've heard is you can lose MPG by going thicker. I mean having an engine that lasts a lot longer is far more valuable. However the only thing...

I still got it inside the oil catch pan, not sure if it's contaminated or if I can still send it in. I'm not a professional, to be upfront I have not looked or know a good company or the process of doing UOA. I could just smell it when the oil was coming out, also with my gloves got some on my...

I joined this forum strictly for fuel dilution issues. I learned about this from Scotty Kilmer with his do not buy this honda engine post on youtube. Too Late. My car is a honda clarity, which I just recently purchased as a CPO. I do almost all my driving in electric mode, I charge at home...

I want to say, and I just recently joined these forums. I have my go to oil, which isn't what my search for is whatsoever. The reason I joined is this fuel dilution situation, and I drive a honda clarity which I just recently purchased. I do almost 90% of my driving on electric. So the engine...
