#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.

#20201 of 20241 what type is it? by caverspencer Oct 30, 2007 (11:08 am)
I am sure this has been answered somewhere but I couldnt find it by doing a search.   How do you tell what model a '97 accord is?   I purchased mine used about a year ago but the letter on the trunk are gone.   My accord has the 4 cylinder V-Tech engine, Power windows and doors, Cruise control, AC, and Moon roof.   My guess is that it is an EX?   Oh and while I am at. is the V-tech engine the same as L4 2.2 Liter FI F22B2 2156 cc O.H.C.- SOHC Replies to this message: thegraduate (Oct 30, 2007 11:14 am) caverspencer (Oct 30, 2007 11:30 am) thegraduate (Oct 30, 2007 11:33 am)

Replying to: caverspencer (Oct 30, 2007 11:08 am) Yes, EX.   The LX had a non-Vtec engine, and no moonroof. The Special Edition Accords from 1997 had the moonroof, but no Vtec. Replies to this message: caverspencer (Oct 30, 2007 11:30 am) thegraduate (Oct 30, 2007 11:33 am)

Replying to: caverspencer (Oct 30, 2007 11:30 am) You bet, and welcome to the forums. Next time you have a question, check out any of the Honda Accord forums. One of interest to you might be the "Honda Accord (1994-1997) Maintenance and Repair Forum" which would have been a good place to ask this.   The host often-times will shut very narrow discussions (like this one) down quickly. But please join in some of the others if you dare. They can be a lot of fun; I've learned an awful lot about my car by participating, asking questions, and even sharing some advice from my own experiences!   http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/WebX/.efdf920/">1994-1997 Accord Maintenance and Repair Forum http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/WebX/.ef7c366/">Accord Real World MPG Forum

Replying to: dudleyr (Jul 23, 2007 3:40 pm) Interestingly, my 1996 Auto 4-cyl Accord will jump from 4th to 2nd, seeming to skip over third. This happens when I've dropped in speed, from say 40 to 23MPH. I hit the gas to get moving again, and it shifts suddenly, and firmly, into second gear.
