#6056 of 6444 Re: another odd issue [theriver] by fussycrvowner Dec 22, 2008 (1:10 pm)
Replying to: theriver (Dec 19, 2008 5:59 pm) I'm fond of the Sylvania SilverStar headlights myself. Unfortunately the brighter light comes from running the filament hotter which burns them out sooner. Usually get about a year or so out of them.

Replying to: mcdermott (Dec 18, 2008 1:39 pm) I'm undecided what my next tires will be. Possibly considering the Pirelli P4 all season touring tires.

Replying to: fussycrvowner (Dec 22, 2008 1:10 pm) Sylvania Silverstar lasts about 1.5 year which is stated in Sylvania's FAQ page.   I tried the PIAA Xtreme White currently due Sylvania does not make H11 model (2008 Honda Pilot) in Silverstar or Ultra. PIAA is expensive and about same brightness & white as the SS-Ultra. I hope this PIAA will last double as Sylvania has. It is good & bright enough for me, street legal (DOT) and not like those aftermarket HIDs blinding the oncoming drivers.
#6059 of 6444 oil level by raydms Dec 28, 2008 (1:36 pm)
I just changed the oil and filter on my 2008 crv for the first time. According to the manual it takes 4.4 us quarts with a filter. After changing the oil I let it sit for roughly 20 minutes but after checking the oil level several times it's slightly above the bottom mark on the dipstick. Has anyone else had this problem?   Thanks

Replying to: mcdermott (Dec 18, 2008 1:39 pm) Even if there is tread life left, after 3years/30K miles I always change the tires. You will not be getting the same performance after 30K due to the stress on any tire. The internal belts are tired and stressed.   Worth it to me to change to new rubber for the ride, performance and overall safety. Particularly when the weather gets wet and cold.   My$0.02. Just purchased a 2008 EX AWD and new to this board.   Regards, OW
#6061 of 6444 battery died for a 1-year-old for no reason by zswx Jan 03, 2009 (8:15 pm)
I bought this 08 CR-V in December 2008 and only drove it very lightly.   I parked it on the street on 12/19/2008 and left for the holiday. Today (1/3/2009) when I came back, the battery completely died. I couldn't even open the door with my remote or lock the door using the button.   I double checked that no light was left on during this period. So how could this happen?   If it was due to a bad battery, will Honda replace it for me for free? (it's a year and a few days since purchase.)   I don't know much about cars and thanks in advance!

Replying to: zswx (Jan 03, 2009 8:15 pm) Your owner's manual for warranties explains the warranty for a defective battery. This of course assumes something in the car wasn't left on while you were away. The battery is covered 100% up to 36 months. Labor or installations charges aren't covered.

Replying to: lzc (Jan 04, 2009 6:01 am) Thank you so much!   How much labor and installation charges are reasonable for changing the battery then? Replies to this message: lzc (Jan 04, 2009 3:36 pm)
#6064 of 6444 Re: battery died for a 1-year-old for no reason [zswx] by lzc Jan 04, 2009 (3:36 pm)
Replying to: zswx (Jan 04, 2009 10:14 am) Well, any place I know of includes installation in the price of the battery. I'd think the dealer would just do it for no charge. It's simple and won't take more than a few minutes. If they wanted to charge much, I'd take the battery and install it myself. But, you might not want to bother with it. If so, I'd think anything higher than about $25 would be out of line. Good luck.

Replying to: zswx (Jan 03, 2009 8:15 pm) I have the same problem with my 06 Accord, I had it on "trickle' charge for two days because I drive our CR-V in the winter and then left it for two weeks and it barely started. The reason I put it on the charger was because it was totally discharged last year in the winter after a couple of weeks in the garage and had to reset the radio code. I'm going to check the current draw on the Accord and get back to you. Unfortunately, this will require resetting the radio code. Other than this, the Accord has been a pleasure and the CR-V 100K Miles has been trouble free except for dome lamp switches and brakes at 90 K Miles (mostly highway), wait, the cruise control has given up on the CR-V, doing it myself now.
