#13091 of 13114 Re: What is the brand that Honda dealers use for oil change? [haefr] by canddmeyer Dec 09, 2005 (12:30 pm)
Replying to: haefr (Dec 09, 2005 10:34 am) My Honda dealer uses Chevron motor oil. Previously they'd used Castrol. Like most anything else, it's probably whatever they can get the best deal on.   I have two nearby Toyota dealerships. One uses Kendall, the other uses Valvoline.   So much for servicing with 'genuine' Honda and Toyota products. It's odd that the service department would use something different than what their parts shops stock, which is only the company labeled product. Go figure.

Replying to: durbs68 (Dec 09, 2005 5:07 am) The problem I have with the big 3 is they refuse to make a quality 4 cyl. car. Simply because of profit margins. Young people are apt to buy 4 cyl. because of economics. If you think 4 cyl. you think Corolla or Civic. Once you've lost a market it's hard to bring them back.

Replying to: mamamia2 (Nov 23, 2005 4:47 pm) It was the speed sensor. Took it to the Honda dealer and cost about $220. Part number 78410-sv4-003 ($122.03) Labor $96.88. I was in at 7:30am and out by 9:15. Not too bad. Replies to this message: mamamia2 (Dec 10, 2005 7:40 am) haefr (Dec 10, 2005 8:29 am)

Replying to: haefr (Dec 09, 2005 10:34 am) To heafr, Wow! Thank a lot. You're right, there is no ground for 40mph. If I change oil filter every 5000 miles, I can use any FRAM filter that the shop has.

Replying to: paulhaire (Dec 09, 2005 1:47 pm) Thanks for the update... Just wondering whether it was you telling the mechanic what's wrong and needs to be replaces (based on my suggestion) or if he came up with that solution. Replies to this message: haefr (Dec 10, 2005 8:29 am)

Replying to: mamamia2 (Dec 10, 2005 7:40 am) Since paulhaire dealt with a Honda dealership's service department, probably a little of both. I imagine the tech verified the problem by pulling the fault code(s) with the scan tool.
#13097 of 13114 Re: 91 Accord EX starting problems [alnero] by hondan Dec 10, 2005 (7:09 pm)
Replying to: alnero (Sep 10, 2005 7:49 pm) Alnero, I was wondering if you resolved the problem, as I had a similar experience with my son's '91 Accord today, and found your post on this forum. We adjusted the valves, replaced the cap, rotor, and plugs. Now, there is no spark. We have 12V to the coil. Earlier symptom he described was that when he hit the brakes, all the lights went dim. Also, the car has been hard starting, or only firing while the starter is engaged. I'm wondering if bringing the car into a warm shop amplified a short somewhere...? Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated. Funked out in SD, Hondan
#13098 of 13114 05 Weather stripping and window run channel by ttb Dec 11, 2005 (9:01 am)
Dear All: What should I use to lub the weather stripping and window run channel? They're kind of hardened now in the cold weather. The plastic and rubber Honda used is getting cheaper and cheaper. I'm hoping lubricating these plus foam tape in the run channel will ease the rattling. Thanks. TTB Replies to this message: haefr (Dec 11, 2005 12:39 pm)

The title of this forum Honda Accord Owners: Problems & Solutions really needs revision. With over thirteen thousand posts, there are too many generations of Accords being discussed here now. There are probably not too many seventh generation (2003-2006) Accord owners who want to read about problems and solutions for Hondas built in the 70's, 80's or early 90's and vice versa.   Since most members want to read posts related to their own generations of vehicles, and since the eighth generation Accords are scheduled to be the 2008's, I suggest that this be split into two forums, namely:   Honda Accord: 1976 though 1997: Owner Problems & Solutions and Honda Accord: 1998 through 2007: Owner Problems & Solutions Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Dec 11, 2005 1:07 pm) blane (Dec 12, 2005 5:40 pm) ramida (Dec 12, 2005 6:07 am) imidazol97 (Dec 12, 2005 6:11 am)

Replying to: ttb (Dec 11, 2005 9:01 am) Undiluted glycerin works fine and is non-toxic.
