#11 of 1030 Defrost by eman6628 Apr 05, 2002 (2:20 pm)
Is there anyway to prevent the air condition to turn on when switch the fan setting to defrost?

Go to the Honda Owners CRV board and see post #6798 for a way to circumvent the A/C when using the defroster.
#13 of 1030 2nd gear/dwnshfting type S by aabe May 04, 2002 (6:53 pm)
Anyone have any problems with 2nd gear, or any problems with control of the car when downshifting??
#14 of 1030 Oil changes and synthetic oil by suijuris94 May 06, 2002 (7:16 pm)
When I picked up my RSX-Type S five days ago, I specifically asked the dealer when the first oil change should be and he reassured me that the manual, which says to do it at 10,000 miles, was correct. Also, the manual says synthetic oil is okay as long as it has a certain seal showing it meets certain specifications. I forget the name of the certifying entity, though. Sorry! I can't see how it would hurt changing the oil more frequently than recommended though. Is there a risk there??
#15 of 1030 Oil by acbe May 09, 2002 (2:58 pm)
I was told by my dealer that it says 10K in the manual to show just how long you can go without an oil change, however he recommended about every 3500. About the synthetic oil, I really don't know but I have always gone directly to the dealer service center for oil changes...even though it may cost a bit more, at least I know it's done properly...and they use a special "honda" oil from what I hear....whether synthetic or not, again...I'm not sure. If I were you, I'd just call your local acura service department and I'm sure they'll answer any questions quite honestly and thoroughly; they've been great with me, especially since I'm not very "mechanically savvy".
#16 of 1030 Oil Change by dkneedsnwcr May 10, 2002 (4:10 pm)
If you drive it hard (I think it's on Acura's owner website), then you change it every 5000miles. If you just cruise in the thing, then 10 000 miles.   I honestly don't think it will hurt you if you change it earlier. I've been told that they've put some detergents in the oil for you to break in your engine. But that's hearsay.   Other than that, the only thing changing your oil more frequently is going to hurt is your wallet.
#17 of 1030 k&n filter by liebel2 May 22, 2002 (10:35 am)
Has anyone tried a k&n air filter in place of the stock filter?
#18 of 1030 Oil Changes by joe249 May 25, 2002 (6:56 pm)
Running 89 or 91 premium seems to me would make engine run at a high temperature. So I change every 3000 miles.Can't hurt can it?
#19 of 1030 Rough shift - 2nd gear by ncrsxs May 26, 2002 (6:40 am)
I've had my Type-s for 7 months now (9700 miles) and 2nd gear is still notchy when the car is cold. Goes away after 5 minutes of driving. Still having a lot of fun with the car.
#20 of 1030 Oil Changes by joe249 May 26, 2002 (3:35 pm)
If you can believe this . Change oil at 5000 but,not the filter until 10k. I do it all at 3k or, 2 months. Replies to this message: dd123 (Feb 01, 2005 11:28 am) joshs (Feb 09, 2005 7:52 am) beowulf7 (Feb 13, 2005 1:19 pm)
