#6271 of 6449 How often do you guys change oil? by ohbaobei May 27, 2009 (4:31 pm)
usually how often do you guys change oil? Do you follow the panel oil life or follow every 5000 (or 3000) miles? Replies to this message: bigdadi118 (May 28, 2009 6:39 am)

Replying to: ohbaobei (May 27, 2009 4:31 pm) Follow the Maintenance Minder and the code(s) it indicate ...   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) You've probably figured this out already.....   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)

Replying to: ohbaobei (May 26, 2009 6:12 pm) >>i should be under factory warranty, am I right?   Right. While tire warranties are generally separate from the car manufacturer's warranty, your dealer will honor it. Assuming the problem is a defective tire or valve stem, your dealer will take care of the problem free of charge. But if the leak is caused by a nail, that's another matter.

Replying to: dmaccioc (May 10, 2009 8:51 am) Don, I have an '07 CR-V EX-L with a similar rattling (or buzzing) noise, which appears to come from the area immediately behind the sunroof, near the head lamp. When I press that area of the headliner it stops. It is not a consistant noise, but appears to come and go. It is most noticable when the vehicle is in drive gear ("D") and ideling. If I had to guess, I'd say it is a wire (or similar) within the hearliner, near the headlight.   I took it to the local Honda dealer and asked it they have ever had this complaint. Of course, they said "no." Because it's not critical, I'm reluctant to have them tear it apart to look; the vehicle will never be the same once they did that!   I would appreciate it if you'd let me know if you learn more about it!
#6276 of 6449 08 CRV bad AC smell and bumpy ride by tornadog Jun 24, 2009 (6:28 am)
Bought my 08 crv in december 2007. Of late I have been noticing bad smell from the ac ducts when I start the car in the morning. It usually lasts a few minutes till the air starts circulating, but of late its becoming longer. its kind of ammonia-ish smell. Other thing is I feel my ride to be very bumpy. Even on freshly laid roads, i can feel every small bump. i remember it used to be much better. Also on turns the car feels kinda wobbly and I almost fear it will topple over if i didnt brake fully. Another thing is, my MM has not come on since I bought it. Its been 18 months and 17000 miles. my oil life is at 40% and whenever i call the dealer they ask me to wait till it goes to 15%. I am taking it to the dealer today. what can i expect? I am not a car person, so help me understand why these 2 problems r happening? Replies to this message: circlew (Jun 24, 2009 9:08 am)

Replying to: tornadog (Jun 24, 2009 6:28 am) If you have high mileage on your tires, that could be your rough ride and also check air pressure. Should be no more than 35 PSI at all corners. If you haven't changed your oil, it's time for an oil change.   The A/C smell could be because of high moisture if you keep it outside with all the rain lately.   Regards, OW

#6279 of 6449 CR-V A/C pressure HOT by krista1 Jun 25, 2009 (7:07 pm)
I had a friend check the pressure in my A/C to see if that is why it wasn't working. I bought my 04 Honda a year and a half ago in the winter time (didn't check the air) I have gone a year and a half without air and though it would be a quick fix. Normal pressure is 45 and mine was at 160 (danger zone). What am I supposed to do, is it dangerous to drive around with it being so high, is there a way to get it lowered? I'm sure it is some kind of compressure problem (like so many of you have, but I really can't afford a 2000.00 repair bill!!! HELP!!!

Replying to: krista1 (Jun 25, 2009 7:07 pm) What you could try is taking to a dealer and paying around $80 to evacuate and recharge the system. Along with that they check the pressures and diagnose problems for you. It's possible that your system is way overcharged and that the pressure safety switches have shut down to protect the compressor from damage. After the dealer makes their assessment, ask them to contact Honda corporate and see if they will make a "goodwill" adjustment for the cost of the repairs. I had mine go out at 39K miles and Honda covered the cost of the parts. I ended up paying only $700 for the cost of the labor. At least with the diagnostic you aren't guessing as to what the problem is and throwing money after unnecessary parts.
