Replying to: fussycrvowner (May 14, 2009 12:20 pm) Someone would have to be really foolish these days to dump the oil in their back yard. A lot of oil changing places use used oil as heating oil in the winter. So, it just gets burned. National chains probably send it to recyclers which clean it up and make it into greases, lubricants, or other grades of oil. Problem with a lot of DIYer is that they would not think twice about mixing the oil with antifreeze or brake fluid and then taking it to the store for recycling. One problem I see with deposits on used oil, is the low-lives stealing oil from cars parked on the streets. I remember a few years back when I lived in the Bronx, there was a rash of catalytic converters being cut off from high sitting vehicles. It was easy for crooks to slide under the car, cut it off with a battery powered cut off tool and be on their way in a matter of minutes. They were selling them to scrap yards.

folks, i have got CRV April 11th. Last week, the tire pressure light is on and i checked manual and tires, found that there is one tire has very low pressure, only 25 psi. i have added air and the light went off. But after two days the light is on again and i checked the air pressure again, it is again 25 psi. So i decided to send the car to dealers and have them checked for me. But it is my first new car and I have no experience to deal with dealer service. I have the manufacture warranty, so does it cover the tire? do i need to pay for this service. As I understand, i should be under factory warranty, am I right?

usually how often do you guys change oil? Do you follow the panel oil life or follow every 5000 (or 3000) miles?

Replying to: ohbaobei (May 27, 2009 4:31 pm) One to take note is change oil within 12 months if your mileage is low, not high enough to trigger the MM. |

Replying to: dmaccioc (May 10, 2009 8:51 am) I have a 2008 CR-V (which replaced a 2000) and love it. I've occasionally heard a rattle in the car, but every time it turned out to be something like a pen on the center console, or my water bottle or my purse on the backseat - nothing wrong with the car itself, even though the noise may have echoed and sounded like it was coming from somewhere else. I just touch things until I find the place that stops the rattle. (And when it's my purse, which is the most elusive, I pull over to fix it because I can't stand that noise) |
