I would change oil and filter 1X a year. Keeps fresher oil in it. Oil picks up by products of combustion, albeit a small amount in you're case. Patman is right, it picks up some acidity when just hangin out in the oil pan.

You drive a CVT straight to the bone yard where they all belong.. Melt them all down. Then design a real transmission , and use the molten metal to make transmission cases out of them.

Couldn't of have written that better myself !!!

WHAT !!!!!! NO DASHBOARD TELLING YOU TO ADD OIL !!!!!!! Who in their right mind would design that without the " INFOTAINMENT " system telling you to open up that plug in 1945 ??? LOL :)

Yes, a great place. Peanuts and popcorn all over the floor. The Little Rascals playing on " Silent Reels ", or the 3 stooges, Bugs Bunny. Just a real fun place to hang out. Miss that old restaurant chain :(

Fortunately, I'm old enough to never conform to this. Please pass me my Ensure ? Yeah, right over there on the end table. Thanks :)

Hey, when you're workin in the street, and cars are whizzin past you, you learn to get the job done ASAP before you get killed. A little back story here for all my HYSTERICAL BITOG buddies here. On the weekends, I had a job taking care of 25 delivery cars for 3 pharmacies. Trying to save $$$ to...

Good point, I'll give you that. Oil pressure gauge: You can turn off engine and check level with a DIPSTICK, or listen to the engine for rockers tappin away, or tappets tappin., or lifters not lifting) Fuel level gauge: engine is running, you have gas. Coolant temp gauge : Open the hood, look...

WOW !! Did I get lucky ! ( Feel terrible for you Kurtatron....all that work to do it over :( )....Anyway, did a timing case crankshaft gasket on an 03' - Toyota 2AZ-FE engine. Ripped the old one out with a screwdriver, ( really marred up the mating surfaces too ), then dunked the whole seal...

Sorry, Being that the price of an engine is so astronomically high,,,, ( I mean we're not talking about a Dodge Slant 6 with a 1 barrel carb from the 70's here, sitting on a shelf in a junkyard for $100 bucks),,,,,, I would not trust a computer to send me the oil level of an engine. True, we...

Rented a Kia in Aruba for a week. Told the place the car needed an oil change. They could care less. They said " Don't mind that, just bring it back with a full tank of petrol " Beat the crap out of it. Frig em.

Good luck with it. Hope Honda got it right this time. Better than a CVT anyway :)

The drugs were FANTASTIC in the 80's. All organic. Not made out of pure chemicals like they are today. I hope the generation using them today will live a long, healthy life, and the chemicals don't kill them at an early age :(..Feel bad for them. Now, as for the steak, I was a 15 yr old waiter...

Yep, I forgot the most important thing Donald, the oil filter wrench. Texchappy, you can buy 2 different types. One is the typical " strap wrench". That one is easier to use when you have lots of room around the filter. Or, you can buy a socket wrench cap. It fits directly over the top of the...

All very good info above ! :) I'll add one thing. Make sure the filter gasket on the old filter doesn't get stuck to the block, then you'll be double gasketing and cleaning up one hell of a mess :(. Smear a little oil on the filter gasket, hand tighten, then 1/4 turn with the wrench. BTW, I...

Hey snwrbrdr12, I'm not knocking you're Ody tranny, but is it that German tranny Honda was using for a few years, then switched backed to CVT after they all failed ????.....Just curious....I wonder if they went back to the drawing board on that German tranny, and are stickin them back in...

Just my 2 cents here. I think the cheapest way out would be what Toyota guy says. Buy bulk oil and bulk filters, and dump it every 1,000 miles. Maybe it will slowly break up some of that junk. Do some highway mileage to keep the RPM's up there, helps keep oil pressure high to bust up some of...

Just don't send the food back. Been there, done that. ( There were a lot of jobs for kids back in the day. I'm struggling to find my 14 yr old daughter a job, and she has working papers ! Nobody wants to train a kid in what the real world is anymore ) Anyway, had a job when I was a kid in a "...

No, no EPA rating as far as I know. It's just a natural gas fueled little 2 cylinder Kohler engine with a ridiculously LOUD muffler on it. You'd think I paid $ 14k for this 20K unit, ( after installation ), you'd think they could design a quieter exhaust system ?!?! The generator motor is...

Well, it's been 24 months since that drastic mistake. I would say you did a superb job of handling it ! :) KUDOS TO YOU !!!. You haven't mentioned anything about an MC going bad, blown caliper, blown ABS system, leaky wheel cylinders, blown hoses. Quite obvious " Uncle Softy" dotted his " i"'s...
