#5919 of 6452 Re: 2008 - First Oil Change [lzc] by jcanavera Jul 13, 2008 (8:27 am)
Replying to: lzc (Jul 12, 2008 7:49 pm) Even the dealers aren't clear on this. On my new 2007 Civic EX, the dealer had a reminder sticker on the windshield to change it at 3,950 miles. I decided to do it after 4 months and 5,400 miles. At that time the computer said I had 30% life in the oil.   That's pretty much in line with how I handled my '97 Accord which I kept for 10 years trading in at 167,000 miles and not one engine repair other than Honda recommended maintenance at each 30,000 mile increment.   Jack
#5920 of 6452 Radio/CD Player Erre problem by chuck914 Jul 13, 2008 (8:11 pm)
Hi all, just a few questions if this happened to anybody.   Lights left on a 2003 CRV EX...boost started, as it wouldn't on it's own. Radio no longer works and displays "ErrE" on front--as if something is stuck, i.e., cd or tape jammed in--which is not this situation. I tried entering the "code" for the anti-theft, but the radio/deck won't accept anything. I haven't tried to disconnect the battery yet and hope things reset themselves (I know the radio code)--maybe tommorrow.   Ques. 1) Anybody experience this? 2) If the radio is defective, and assuming the OEM is stupid expensive, which CD/radio/iPod ready system would fit best. 3) any idea how to remove the original radio? How does the plastic "snap" in? etc.
#5922 of 6452 Service/Maintenance by leaflet Jul 14, 2008 (5:48 am)
I bought a CR-V in January. So far the oil life is still 40%. Yesterday, I got a voice message from my dealer reminding me to schedule a service. I was kind of confused, since the manual suggested that I only need to follow the service reminder on the panel. Shall I schedule a service now?   Thanks,   John Replies to this message: lzc (Jul 15, 2008 5:20 am)

Replying to: leaflet (Jul 14, 2008 5:48 am) It's reasonable, I think, to believe that auto dealers aren't happy about the trend that keeps extending service schedules. So, one continues to hear dealers recommend 3,000 mile oil changes, while Honda recommends something else.   Who 'ya gonna believe? Your choice.
#5924 of 6452 Re: O2 sensor questions [ultra2004] by blueiedgod Jul 17, 2008 (12:27 pm)
Replying to: ultra2004 (Jun 29, 2008 8:58 am) I have a 2005 Honda CR-V LX 2WD, and an engine light came on. AutoZone gave me a code of P0135, stating that O2 sensor in bank 1 is having problems. In my car’s service manual, it has a name of A/F sensor. None of the local auto parts store carries this O2 sensor. Dealership told me it costs about $280, and I need to pay in front to order it. A Honda auto parts web site is selling it for about $200. Other websites says they have universal O2 sensor for my car, which costs about $50. But this universal part has no connector. My question is what is the difference between an OEM O2 sensor and a universal O2 sensor. Is it a good idea to use a universal O2 sensor besides the cost factor? How easy is it to re-use the existing connector? The original O2 sensor is from Denso, but I can’t find its part number. Anyone has an idea what the part number for the original O2 sensor? Thanks in advance for all the help. Byron   Why not take up Honda on the 8 years emissions warranty? Replies to this message: ultra2004 (Jul 17, 2008 3:19 pm)

Replying to: blueiedgod (Jul 17, 2008 12:27 pm) Two dealers I went to told me that it is under 3/36 warranty but not 8/80 warranty. I checked my emissions warranty on Honda Owner Link, and it said the same thing that O2 sensor has 3/36 warranty only. I wish I could use it under 8 years emissions warranty. Anyway, I bought the o2 sensor for $210 and spent 10 minutes to replace it. I think it is not bad comparing what dealer was asking for, which was $400.
#5926 of 6452 Re: 2003 CRV Burning Oil [stevedebi] by harryhonda1 Aug 10, 2008 (6:23 am)
Replying to: stevedebi (Oct 30, 2006 5:15 pm) I have a 2006 CR-V EX. It has lost oil since it was new, and not just a little. I add a half quart about every thousand miles depending on how I drive it, more for freeway use, less for around town. I don't see any smoke; nor do I see any drips in the garage. I use the recommended 5-20 oil (although I no longer use Honda oil at $6+ per quart!). The car now has about 38K miles and otherwise runs great. When I took it to the dealer, they were going to keep it for three days to test oil loss. I passed. I have until 2010 to have it inspected by NJ and, at that time, I might see that the oil is being burned -- via emissions testing. I also have a 100K extended warranty. any thoughts out there?

Replying to: harryhonda1 (Aug 10, 2008 6:23 am) Using a little oil is okay, and actually beneficial for the engine, but there are limits.   If your oil usage has remained constant, that's a good sign, but if the oil consumption is slowly slumping mile after mile, that is continually dropping over the ensuing months, that could indicate a problem.   Some engines naturally use oil--you'll hardly find a Subaru Outback that doesn't. But right around 1,500 miles on a quart is MORE than enough to tolerate.   There's really not much you can do besides watch it. The manufacturer will not warranty oil consumption of 2,000 miles on a quart. It would probably have to drop below 1,000 miles on a quart.   Oil burning of this nature won't effect emissions testing.

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Aug 10, 2008 7:50 am) That's a big help, psychologically anyway! I've been driving since 1979 and only my first two cars (a '66 Impala and a '68 Beetle) used oil. My '81 Rabbit Diesel, '86 Jetta Diesel, '86 Toyota Celeca, '89 Toyota Tercel, '93 Mazda 626, '98 Mazda 626, '01 Camry, '03 Corolla and '06 Accord (all 4 cyl) all used no oil. In fact, the oil in '93 626 still looked clean when I changed it. That car was amazing -- 225K miles with never anything other than maintenance and wear and tear items done. I equate using oil with the need for some major repairs like a ring job. Where does the oil that's being used go? (In my old cars, it was burned and you could smell it).   Anyway, thanks for your insight. I guess a CR-V runs at such high RPMs, it can't help but use a little oil.
