We bought a 2014 Accord EX-L w/CVT for my wife to drive mostly highway miles to/from work. I changed the CVT fluid at 10K, 20K, and 30K miles. That first change, the fluid came out black but still translucent. The second drain/fill was dark but not as dark as the 10K drain/fill. The 30K change...

If it has the A750E or F, it will have a traditional semi-flat style metal filter with O-ring seal, held by 4 small bolts (torque is 7 ft/lb) I uncrimped the seam on mine to inspect some time back and did not find anything worth mentioning. It will have an extremely fine mesh layer as the...

A weak TSP mix breaks the bond of any clumping or thickened crud from the DexCool. If there is no clumping/thickened crud in their, drain, distilled water rinse, fill & go. Here is what Amazon has for a little less than $4 TSP 1lb box

If you don't want to use harsh chemicals, go to a hardware store and get a small box of TSP-trisodium phosphate...the REAL stuff, not the substitute. It looks like white laundry detergent, in fact, it's what they removed from most detergent a few years ago, that's why laundry doesn't seem as...

What about Raybestos "Advanced Technology" brake pads, are those good too ? ? I replaced the rotors and pads on my wife's previous Honda Accord (2004) with Raybestos Advanced Technology pads and rotors and was impressed and pleased. Mt wife really liked the improved bite and pedal feel and I...

I just picked up everything from my local machine shop for assembly pretty soon. In original form it was a 1967 Olds 330 (39 degree cam bank angle block) These had a forged crank from the factory. I had the crank turned .010 on the mains, the rod journals were offset ground from 2.125 to 2.000...

Honda HCF-2 is a honey/light amber color. I did a drain and fill on our 2014 Accord at a little over 10K miles to remove break in contamination.

I am currently on my final free oil change from my dealer, when I drain this batch I have a case of Toyota 0w20 I will run. I have read it is on the thinner side of the grade but reviews on here show it is a fine oil. We'll see

Thank you for the report, you might want to edit out your personal information though. Lots of bad people out there.

For about the first 500 miles or so I did the traditional cylinder/ring loading type break in, that's what I call it anyway. Hard acceleration periodically to increase ring loading without excessive rpm, most manufacturers have their own language in the owner's manual for this but with modern...

Thanks for the comments all. I was prepared for the usual metal contamination from the initial break in cycle and barring any unforseen mechanical issues all of the trends should start going down. I had 2 each 5 qt. jugs of Synpower 0w-20 to use as what I'll call the first rinse. The other is...

We purchased this Accord on 12/31/2013 - I had heard & read that Honda FF were Moly heavy and this was. It almost killed me to not dump this after 1k miles but after 5034 I dumped the FF (did not reset Maint minder 50%) and will do a rinse with Valvoline Syn 0w-20 until maintenance minder is at...

Good morning all, Is there a correlation between the viscosity drop and fuel dilution doubling? I have 1 more run after this current fill for data but...if I had to choose between this and other brands normally stocked and pay retail then, no, but I got a decent deal. While not a steal, I had...

Here is the #2 UOA results for Lubrication Engineers LE8531, 5w30 Monolec Tetra-Syn VOA numbers are the first set. Filter was a Pure One PL 10241, 48,133 miles on engine & truck, 3,020 miles on OCI. Don't flame me for the early change - had some really nice weather after what would be called...

Quite the combat aircraft. I was stationed at Hurlburt Field for 11 years at the other end of the flightline from the Gunship Squadron. We deployed many times to many places around the world with these; always the friendly rotary wing vs. fixed wing rivalry. A privilege to watch these in action...

Those are the pressures I run on my Tacoma; Michelin LTX M/S-2 tires. Those pressures give me the best/most even wear under normal driving. I do increase the rears a little if I load it down. Size - P265/65R17 110T

If you are trying to get the temp. right for the level check on your Tundra, when I did my Tacoma I used my Scan tool's real time data monitor to watch the tranny temp get at or near 115 degrees. When I saw 110 show up I got under the truck and did the level check plug. Works like a champ. Are...

When I was first entering auto maintenance and engine building the guy I learned a lot from taught me to use it on new cam installs and valve tips/rocker arms & pivots. He always talked about its "cling" to metal. Been almost 40 years now and I still use it in specific areas during engine...

Pennzoil, Thank you for your continuing advance in the area of passenger car motor oil technology. My question for you is what type(s) of testing have you done with regard specifically to your products' interaction with and ability to combat intake valve deposit formations in modern Direct...
