#761 of 1936 Re: 2001 Honda Accord Coupe EX V6 72K Service [toyoman1] by user777 Feb 27, 2007 (9:12 am)
Replying to: toyoman1 (Feb 26, 2007 10:25 am) it's beautiful up there. this past weekend was a good time to go. some good hiking up there. watch out for the vehicles and motorcycles comming over the line! happens too often.   was it pulling before you got up there? i mean, those aren't the roads to be assessing alignment issues on since they are really canted drastically away from the middle to put you away from oncomming traffic. better to do that on the interstate.   let us know if GPH can figure your issue out or not.

Replying to: user777 (Feb 27, 2007 9:12 am) Took the Accord in this morning. Spoke with my same service tech and he took the car right in. I saw the tech drive away from the dealership in it so i know it was test driven. They said the car did have slight left pull. DUH!!! They suspected Radial tire pull. The crossed the front tires and guess what. It pulls slight right now. LOL. At any rate they say they are 100 percent sure that its a faulty tire that they can replace. But it isnt going to damage my vehicle to just wear that tire out, just annoy me with the pull. Maybe Ill get two new front tires anyway, doing my front brake pads on sat at the house. Thanks all for the input, HAPPY MOTORING Replies to this message: user777 (Feb 28, 2007 4:18 pm) toyoman1 (Feb 28, 2007 11:09 pm)

Replying to: toyoman1 (Feb 28, 2007 3:42 pm) are they new tires? i'm lost. if so, a replacement is a no brainer. if not, your sanity might be worth the $80 or what ever per tire for two new ones. specially if you do a lot of driving.   pulling to the left can't be good. that would suggest a fairly serious problem as the road is purposely canted to the right for drainage.

Replying to: user777 (Feb 28, 2007 4:18 pm) Yes tires are brand new Radials. The honda tech said sometimes when a new tire is made the belts shift inside the rubber before it sets up. Causing a thing known as radial tire pull. I looked it up it does exist. He stated that he would know for sure if he cross rotated the two front wheels. If it was what he thought with the bad tire then now it will pull in the opposite direction, which it does. He looked for bent suspension and steering and found no probs, dont think he would lie because I have no warranty, but hey, lets not relive their little motor mount scam!!! Anyways, I will probably just buy two new tires this weekend and be done with it.
#765 of 1936 2002 Honda Accord oil change question by zakiman Mar 01, 2007 (10:31 am)
ok, I have to admit , this may be a dumb question but I would like to ask it anyway. I have been taking may car to the dealer for regular oil changes, but now with 120k miles, I'd like to take it to a quick lube place or Jiffy Lube...etc. Do they use the same filter as the dealer and does it make any difference if they do or don't? Also, would they put 5W-20 oil or do I have to mention it to them?   Thanks very much Replies to this message: elroy5 (Mar 01, 2007 3:00 pm) vtectuner90 (May 01, 2007 3:56 pm) user777 (May 01, 2007 4:10 pm) elroy5 (May 01, 2007 5:33 pm) and 1 more...
#766 of 1936 Parts for Maintenance by inkie Mar 01, 2007 (10:44 am)
I have been purchasing all my parts from Honda parts 4 U, they are no longer selling on line or by phone. Could anyone recommend a seller of Honda Parts on the eastern coast or mid atlantic area? Thanx Replies to this message: elroy5 (Mar 01, 2007 3:04 pm) user777 (Mar 01, 2007 11:31 pm)

Replying to: zakiman (Mar 01, 2007 10:31 am) Jiffy lube probably uses the cheapest oil they can get, and definitely don't use Honda filters. If you want them to use something special, buy the oil and filter and bring it to the Jiffy lube with you. I use only Honda parts myself, but you do what you think is best. I do my own maintenance.

Replying to: inkie (Mar 01, 2007 10:44 am) You can get maintenance items from this web-site. I get some from HandAaccessories myself. http://www.handaaccessories.com/accord.html This site has just about any part you could want. I haven't bought from them yet, but have heard they are good. http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/ Replies to this message: user777 (Mar 01, 2007 11:31 pm)

Thanks elroy, I'll check the sites out. I had about 8 sites a few years back but the Honda 4 U was very good so I discarded the info. Learn a lesson keep info that may be useful. Thanks again.
