#20191 of 20241 Re: don't bet on it! [yury] by bristol2 Jul 23, 2007 (6:12 am)
Replying to: yury (Jul 21, 2007 7:24 pm) There is no delay in a manual, if you are at highway speed, you shift to 4th from 6th or 3rd from 5th, depending on how many gears you have.   I drive my wife's automatic and when you push the gas all the way to the floor there is a delay..........................then there is a surge......................then, as soon as you get up to speed and are about to get to the front of the travel trailer in front of you, the auto shifts back up and you lose your 'oomph'.   I'd rather select my gear and stay in it for as long as I decide is necessary.

The time it takes you to shift from 6th to 4th, or 5th to 3rd. That delay is longer than the delay of the automatic, especially if your not ready to do it (hand on shifter, and foot on clutch).   If you try to do it faster than the automatic, you will surely loose that fry.

An automatic has an intermediate step going from 5th to third - fourth. Replies to this message: thegraduate (Oct 30, 2007 12:15 pm)
#20197 of 20241 Is the 4-cyl known to burn oil? by tamu2002 Aug 26, 2007 (7:06 pm)
The current oil has ~4K miles and is 6 months old (Castrol 5W20). The oil life monitor is at 50%. The car has 10K miles. I just checked the oil level and found it had burned about 0.8-1 qt oil. Is this normal? My driving style is VERY gentle, and mainly highway (~14 miles commute each way a day).

Replying to: tamu2002 (Aug 26, 2007 7:06 pm) Is there any reason that you didn't leave the original Honda break-in oil (with whatever special ingredients) in the engine through their usual 7,500 mile recommended cycle before the first oil change? Of course I understand that it's no longer by miles, just the Mileage Minder. Replies to this message: tamu2002 (Aug 27, 2007 2:26 pm) tamu2002 (Aug 27, 2007 2:32 pm)

Replying to: blane (Aug 27, 2007 1:47 pm) I recall I changed the factory oil when the minder was at 30% and the car had 6300 miles and was 5 or 6 months old. I did an oil analysis and posted it on this board. You can find it doing a simple search. That oil was remarkable! It was a good thing I didn't change it sooner. Honda's factory oil IS special as claimed and should be kept in long enough to do its break-in job.
