    2024 Civic w/NA 2.0 - Honda recommends 0w-20 - Suggestions and thoughts?

    Curious if your Civic 2.0 NA is the same engine as the current gen CR-V 2.0 NA? We have 4000 miles on our CR-V and happy to report no rising oil level and still looks new when wiping dipstick on white paper towel, and tailpipe is clean and not black and sooty. Hopefully Honda is getting the DI...

    Honda maintenance minder

    Thanks for the replies. It looks like a mix of 5k-7k, and follow the Maintenance minder.

    So you go with a flat 7000k interval, and not follow the maintenance minder? What percent is it typically at when you change it?

    Its nice to hear the miles you got out of it going with long intervals. We do have the 3/4 mile short trips that can be difficult to factor in the interval based on miles.

    I had considered the improvements in modern oil, but its still difficult to break old habits.

    Honda maintenance minder

    Thanks for the feedback 5k does seem like a common and safe interval. I am curious why Honda and other manufactures are stretching it well beyond that... are they just looking to make it past warranty and trying to say how efficient they are, or is the longer interval truly fine, and we can...

    Honda maintenance minder

    2023 Honda CR-V sport 2.0 NA Our first Honda and trying to figure out an ideal oil change interval. Following the maintenance minder would be nice to take the guess work out of when to do service, but it looks like the interval will be much longer than the "severe service" of 3750 miles or 6...

    Can I live on a 10 million retirement?

    I know a few people that live on SS alone thinking that it was designed to cover their retirement expenses. They don't live comfortably. But add a million that is well diversified and 60/40, and use the common 4% withdrawal rate, you would have $40,000 plus SS before taxes... I would be...

    How many in pre-retirement make catch-up contributions to 401K

    I can give a perfect example of why "most are just trying to get by" Myself and my coworker. We both make the same wage, close to 60k annual, and live in the same community, but my wife chose to stay home and not work, and his wife works full time, so his household income is much larger then...

    How many in pre-retirement make catch-up contributions to 401K

    I took a different approach and only put what the employer matched in the 401, 4%, and max out roth when I heard about that, and put everything I could in a regular taxable account and paying off house. I wanted to be able to "retire" at a younger age than the typical 62-67. At 46 I am feeling...

    would it still run normal if it was a crank position sensor? We drove 80 the last hundred miles with a 20 mph head wind, so it has plenty of power left.

    Not faster than normal, just trying to rule out a weak battery issue.
