I would first like to say congratulations on getting a great little car. Knowing that it is a little R18A1 the torque availability is to be expected. You can change how it feels when shifting with a few things: 1: Transmission Fluid; This can make a large impact on how it goes into gear...

2018 Honda Civic Sport (k20c2, 2.0L). Yay for Honda still making something port injected :). 33k miles at time of oil change, Ran to 5% of MM. Out: Dealership Bulk 0w20, Honda A02 Oil filter. In: M1 EP FS 0w20, Bosch 3323 Filter. A Friend of my sister's. Her first car, and tended to very well...

2006 Toyota Corolla LE (1zz-fe, 1.8L). Vehicle in question has 132k miles, and burns 1/2 quart per 4-5k mile OCI. Out: Unknown Synth Blend 5w30, quick lube filter of same size to Fram 4967. In: Kirkland Signature FS 5w30, Blue Can Stp S4967. Aunt's car; One owner, and garage kept. Driven mostly...

That is great! I am happy for you.

OP, I would suggest you do a little bit of research into the smaller part and repair shops around your area. You will eventually find a place that will sell that exact product, and not charge an arm and a leg for it. I know of it.

2005 Acura TSX; k24a2, 6mt, 125033 Miles at time of change. Out: M1 Euro Formula 0w40 with 1/2 bottle of Liquid moly Ceratec. In: M1 Euro Formula 0w40 w/o Ceratec. Both oil changes used A bosch 3323 filter that I have stashed up, and could be considered short interval, as there was only 3.5k...

Can attest to that; For the tsx, it not only drips down the engine block, but it will also get on the cv and intermediate axles. Don't even get me started if the filter is really stuck on there; poking it with a flat tip screwdriver will be the only way.

A rule of thumb that I live by is 10%. Say if your car takes 5 quarts, you should not have any issues filling it over or under .5 of a quart. It should be stated that you really should never underfill your engine, but don't overfill it too much. Hope that this helps.

Nice. This trim level will be the one without the dreaded early VCM unit. rock solid without any issues.

Thanks for the cut and post OP. This just reaffirms the quality for price that this filter offers.

Good choice; For any port injected, naturally aspirated application M1 euro 0w40 is just a great all season replacement for 5w30. I swear by it with my CL9 Acura Tsx with the 2.4l.

Congrats to your Sister OP. I would suggest while you are in there doing the fluids, do check the power steering fluid. That is normally neglected. Also, consider both spark plug and PCV valve replacements; those two should take all of 30 minutes, and guarantees that that k24 will be happy for...

Op, Honda's have manual lash adjustments on their valvetrain, so I think your car needs to have its valves adjusted. Being that this is a J series V6, it will be a little bit of a harder task since the intake manifold will need to be removed before access to both front and rear engine covers are...

Not the best but nowhere near the worse in the grand scheme of things. I know that this may have had one or two extended drain intervals that were uncalled for. I would suggest looking at a potential timing belt and water pump replacement based on the condition of the belt from the pictures...

I am surprised that there is really no hint of fuel dilution, which is a common occurrence with these engines specifically. This OCI length looks good, i would stick with it. Thanks for the report.

Thanks for the report. I feel like 10k miles oci is a little bit too far, what about 7.5k miles? What filter did you use with this oci?

I understand your argument but I think most in this forum do. People whom properly maintain their vehicles at least do it once a blue moon.

It looks like your aunt was a proper owner; having such a clean engine shows that it was well taken care of over its life(taking into consideration engine rebuild), even with all of the mileage on the frame. Per specification, I feel like anything SAE 30 Weight would work for it, knowing the...

yes.

Honda's are generally very much reliable, but from a used car perspective, do avoid anything that is v6 that is mated to a 5 speed auto. Older Honda transmissions are built like AMT's (automated manual transmissions), and because of this, the clutch plates are smaller in comparison to the...
