Replying to: autumncat (Aug 16, 2006 8:12 pm) Potentially, you can attach a FM modulator to the back of your factory head unit. It will replace the frequency 88.1 or something. Just another way to give you a plug so that you can plug in whatever portable mp3 player you have. When you want to listen to your mp3 player, switch the frequency to 88.1, and I believe you can at least control volume if there are volume bottons on the steering wheel. I guess you can talk to a car audio guy to do that. Not to the guys in circuitcity or big car audio companies, but self-employed ones who may know more about this kind of stuff. Good luck! FM transmitters suck indeed, unless you can find illegal ones that ignore the regulations and cover all local stations. |

I have a Honda Pilot 2004. The fuses keep blowing out and I will have to bring it back to honda for the 4th time. They have told me that first it was the brake switch which they replaced and then they said it was a bulb and then they said it was a fuse. I get the car back from them and within a week the car won't shift out of park. Has anyone had this problem and what should I tell them to fix. Thanks |

I'm looking to sell my 2004 EXL Navigation Pilot. 25000Mi, never any problems. Side steps, grill guard, remote start. Sticker price was $35000. How much should I ask for on street or as trade in?

I have 2004 Pilot EX. From time to time I remove the key from the vehicle and the vehicle acts like the key is still in ignition (i.e. you hear the key-in-ignition chirping alarm). Also when this happens you are unable to use the fob to lock car (presumably because vehicle "senses" the key in the ignition). Major problem of course is that a number of times my battery has mysteriously gone dead. Once I finally realized what was happening I have been more careful, but can't get problem to replicate and service dealer can find nothing wrong with the electrical system. Any thoughts or similar experiences? |

Hi Every one I am fairly new to this forum. I was wondering if the back tail lights on the 2006 will fit in the 2004 Honda Pilot since some one or some thing has broke our left tail light so I am thinking of changing them with the clear ones from the 2006 model. Also, how difficult would it be to replace these tail lights. Thank you in advance.

Replying to: toca (Mar 05, 2003 6:50 am) Seems the particular "New York Taxi Cab" oil test I read might have been in Popular Mechanics. No difference in 3000 and 6000 mile oil changes, as far as engine wear, even in the stop and go of the taxi fleet. I forget at what mileage they were tearing the engines down for inspection. They were using several different brands of oils and filters over a 2-3 year time frame. As I remember, the synthetics maintained the best lubrication and viscosity qualities, the Pennsylvania oils next , then Texas type. The Parophyn based oils such as Quaker State tended to gum up parts of the engine that were not rubbing on something. I've seen inside the valve covers of police car engines that had a contract with Quaker State, 10 or so years ago. There was lots of sludge build up. Engines had failed. The shop foreman said the oil passages had clogged and bearings could not get proper lubrication. The money saved through the "DEAL" with Quaker State was costly on the other end. Engines were lasting about 60K. These were American built V8s and mostly Ford 302s. However, I bought a used 87 Montero with 75K miles on the clock. The guy said he had been using Quaker State and changing it religiously at 5000 miles. Inside the valve covers was shinny as new with no visible sludge. I took his word that it had been changes with a high degree of regularity. I traded for a new Ram when the Montero had near 125K and it still ran fine, and used less than 1/2 quart between 5000 mile changes. Dealer has our Hondas set up for 3750 mile changes and sends us reminders. They use a synthetic "semi" blend of "Penn State" and it looks about the same color when drained as it was when added. My understanding is that Straight Synthetic oils should not be used until 3rd+ oil change and the engines have 10K+ miles on them . The synthetics are more slippery and engines have a hard time "Breaking In" with it. Kip |
