Not much info on it here. I have searched and read everything i could find on this site.I have a 98 Acura TL 3.2 W/ 152k on it that is leaking at the rear main seal. How is Pennzoil HM at sealing leaks? Is it as good as the Fan favorite VML? I use mostly Sopus products for engine oil and VML Atf...

Go to http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/auto/jsp/mws/PartsSearch.jsp and look up the parts yourself easy to use site. Or call your local Honda parts Dept.

Q1 It does not matter they are both a 30wt at operating temperature! Q2 Never, Fix the leaks if you have any. M1EP or PP/PU are very good choices and are available at Walmart. I never use a 5w30 because of the viscosity improver's used to build them, i prefer 10w30 or a 0w30 syn. What would i...

If you have a sawzall you can cut 3 or 4 lines in the existing flange with out going through the pipe below, stuff a rag in the pipe chisel out the old flange and replace w/ new flange takes 15-20 mins. Don't silicone a water closet to the floor as you will not be able to remove it w/ out taking...

Hi what do you all use to lube your window channels?

I have had 5 Honda's this is nothing out of the norm! I just did a drain and fill on my 92 Accord wagon and my 97 Acura Cl this morning, they both had this fine sediment on the magnets. I have come to realize that this is normal for a Honda tranny! It use to bother me now it doesn't. I have well...

Originally Posted By: Pman Hi all, 1996 avalon 160K miles I did a trans fluid change (drain and fill only) twice, 100 miles inbetween. I changed the filter on the second time. I used Mobil 1 atf. Now it shifts HARD. Like a GM THM 350 with a shift kit. Is the Mobil 1 thinner? I'm thinking of...

I second that!

Sounds like a good plan! You will like it in the gas. You will notice a difference within a couple hundred miles. Joe

Can't go wrong w/ either of them. I would run the MC Blend in a 5w20. I used it in my daughters (2 of them) 99 Civic Lx before the younger one totaled it in January. That engine will run on anything from 5w40,10w30,5w30 to 5w20 as i have used all those grades at one time or another. Joe

Can I ask why are you using a 15w40 oil in an engine speced for 5w30? No wonder your oil pressure was high. The thicker the oil the harder it is to pump. Joe

+1 on cleaning the EGR ports! Here's a link to a site that I found very helpful when i cleaned my EGR ports http://home.comcast.net/~em-engineering/T2T013.pdf 96 accords are easy to do much easier than the 90-93 Accords Joe

Yes Maxlife ATF is compatible w/ your Honda transmission! Works great use it in all 3 of my Hondas Joe

Great car will last a long time! Complete tune up is a must & find out from the previous owner if the timing belt & balance belt and if the water pump have been changed!!! Definitely change the upper radiator hose! I like Valvoline MaxLife ATF in Honda auto trans all 3 of my Hondas are running...

Thank you for the update! Can't wait to see more pics as the miles roll up. Joe

Congrats to your whole family! Joe
