About 1/3 of a quart was added and it was a week before the oil change. This was the first time I've ever seen the oil level low and had to add oil. In the past, it was always over the line because of fuel dilution. Bought a new PCV valve and hose in case the PCV might be the reason for the...

FYI, it comes with a road hazard warranty through Nokian for the 1st year. https://www.nokiantires.com/consumer-promises/nokian-tyres-pothole-protection-warranty/

I agree but the clearance price for m1 afe couldn't be beat ($3.68US/quart). Should have enough for 4 years @ 3200 miles / oil change. The car seems more quiet when starting in winter so I'm happy. Used to think 300v was best as it might give better protection for cold winter short trips and...

Correct. Motul 300v was used for all past UOAs. Now will continue to use m1 afe as I stocked up when on clearance

I've been doing short oil changes due to fuel dilution from short trips. In the last 6 months, I've been using 91 octane as the car seems more responsive. Looking at the analysis, there might be more benefits to using 91 octane. Only 4 of the fill ups were 10% ethanol, the rest were ethanol...

The vent plug was regularly cleaned and the fill plug was even replaced with a new one from the dealer after reading this post a few years ago. Was ok for 113k miles

Used to make sure the breather was clean so unless it got plugged with ice from the car wash or dirt from a road, I'm not sure how it happened. Hoping the vented fill plug from the Chinese marketplace will fare better.

That TSB mentions the warranty extension only applies if the CVT gets a software update, making the belt an OBD monitored part. I got it done about 4 months before the failure so was very, very lucky. When it failed, I backed out of my driveway and got stuck in some light snow. Turned...

If this is the side that's needed, it's my top choice https://www.ebay.com/itm/165990954883 Brand new genuine Honda with the OEM box - $110 or best offer

It says on the manufacturers website that 360 has PEA https://www.goldeagle.com/product/sta-bil-360-protection/ Issue is I don't see it in the safety data sheet (2021): https://hhmfacilitymanagement.com/content/uploads/2021/04/SDS_GoldEagle_STA-BIL_EhFuelTreatStab.pdf

I think that was written since they didn't know what equipment it came from. When I compare the AI to other small engine UOA, the AI seems normal when considering a snowblower is used more often than a mower. I'm guessing double the hours. For example, DuckRyder's mower...

For the last 10 years, this engine has always gotten the good stuff as it only needs 0.6L / year. A neighbour suggested the oil be changed twice a season as the snowblower is used to plow multiple driveways in my laneway Decided to do an UOA for the first time to see how Red Line fared...

This isn't Honda's first rodeo. Dealer replaced it for free and I only had to pay for the rental.

I agree but the big question is what causes the fill plug to pop out? According to the Honda TSB, the cause of the fill plug popping out is because the breather plug is blocked. If CVT fluid has a high TAN, will it cause more fumes which will increase the chance of the breather plug becoming...

2016 Honda HR-V CVT failed @ 114k miles. The transmission fluid was replaced every ~10k miles When the transmission failed, the fill plug was missing. A sample was taken during a drain and fill, about a month or two before the failure. Thought it's interesting the TAN is more than x4 of the...

The part number (06200-52P-A02RM) would lead you to think it's remanufactured but I think it's brand new as when I look it up on eBay, they all have this tag with a checkmark on the middle option. It was out of stock when the dealer ordered it and took close to a month to come in. Maybe...

Lack of lubrication because the fill plug popped out. It is disappointing because the fluid was frequently changed and the CVT filters were even changed twice. Wrote about it here: https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/honda-cvt-transmission.367290/post-6447077 I took a sample of the CVT...

My 2016 Honda HR-V recently got a brand new transmission. First drain and fill was completed @ 5824 miles. It's been ~80 days since the CVT was installed...

Since it’s a North American exclusive, I’m guessing Nokian wanted something good to entice us after opening up the plant in Tennessee so they made an effort with this one. The aramid sidewall was exclusive to SUV tires before this. I often drive on dirt roads and this latest set lives up to the...
