Hey guys, I have a new to me 04 civic Hybrid manuel. The last owner looked like he cheaped out on his maintence - ie. cheap oil and tires. I think he put in 5w20 instead of 0w20, and my car is not getting the mpg it should. I cannot find 0w20, anywhere but the honda dealer, where its 6 bucks...

I let a friend borrow a oil pan recently, which to my suprise, he used to drain his radiator. He dumped the waste, and gave it back to me. I then did my OCI, and filled up the sample container with the used oil in the pan. Do you think my oil sample is now ruined, because I didnt wash out the...

The engine still has great compression, and eats up 1/2 quart in 6k miles using m1. love it! I'm also looking for a good shock/spring setup or adjustible coilovers to match those sticky japanese tires! (sick of the 4x4 look, and want to auto-x) thanks! >Ankur email me if you have a...

car: 1994 honda accord 4 banger. I pulled some of my spark plugs the other day, and noticed a small amount of oil on them and a small amount of oil residue at the bottom of the cylinder. The engine now has 190k, and converted to syn at the 170k range. no burning of oil, but I think it may...

Hey guys, I have a real weekend car now, a brand new 05 s2k. As of right now, I have just reached the 1000 mile mark, and have now started to beat and let the engine sing da vtec song. But, I dont want to leave the stock oil in for to long, so heres some questions. 1. I'm going to get the oil...

First, I drive a stock slow honda that sees its share of abuse. (auto-x, caynon driving) a couple times a year. Recently, I've seen a lot more people using oil catch cans (homemade or bought.) I was going to just run a longer pipe from the pvc valve on the crackcase to a small metal container...

I've seen lots of threads on other sites. I have a honda accord with pvc valve on top of the crankcase, with a hose that leads back to the intake. Can i just route a hose from the pvc valve to my own homemade catch can (with steel wool side.)? I know this just makes sure the oil is not put...

Hey guys. Ive been driving around like a ******* with a broken radiator for 6 months. (1994 Honda accord, this will be her 3rd radiator now with 190k miles.) Well the crack was at the top, so it only leaked when it wanted to. Stupid nissen made radiators. So I upgraded with this...

and it will look like this!!! http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1230050 I didnt take the pic. enjoy...

This is a 4 banger honda pic. (probably a 94-97 accord) Found on another site.... http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1230050 ewwwwwwww. Probably had 20 hp to the wheels at that point, but I bet it still worked

So, I noticed my coolant overflow resvior (sp?) was low. So I filled it up, and noticed every couple days that it was constantly in that same level again. (about 1 inch under low point.) I put the car on jacks, and ran it for about 30 minutes looking for a leak, to no conclusion. What should I...

Hey guys! I have a 94 honda accord (2.2L 4 banger) with 189k. Runs fine, but I thought I would do a seafoam cleansing. Ive read on another forum (ricer alert!! super-honda.com) that seafoam is not recommend for high mileage apps, although a friend recently used in a 300k old volvo, and it was...

what do I look for when buying GC? just "made in germany?" anyone have a pic of this particular label? that would help mucho! thanks >Ankur

yup as you guessed, i have a 94 honda accord with 185k. The tranny feels fine, for a car with that kinda mileage. (AT, with honda ATF) yet when I was taking out the drain plug, I noticed metal shards all over it. I wiped them off, I then tried to run my finger on the inside walls of the oil...

I agree guys, the next new car (or used with low miles) I will most def use synthetic. But since the engine is old, even mobil recommends just staying with dino oil, which I will probably do. (just keep it for 4k miles) Its funny, Im want my engine to last 300k miles, but I dunno if this much...

Hey guys! This may be a bad idea, and tell me if it is. I have different types of sythentic oil (castrol, mobil 1, etc, a all 10x 30.) is it okay to mix these? My car is just a plain 4 banger 94 honda accord with 175k miles, been using synthetic oil for about 6 months. thanks!
