#815 of 1922 Re: 2002 Honda Accord oil change question [elroy5] by user777 May 02, 2007 (3:21 am)
Replying to: elroy5 (May 01, 2007 5:33 pm) yeah, the manual states 5W-20, and on a temporary basis, 5W-30 to be replaced with 5W-20 at the next change.   i think with tolerances what they are today, it's smart to stick to the recommended weight oil.   if you live in a cold climate... i'd be cautious going with off-recommended weights.   unscientifically, changing from a 5W-20 to a 10W-30 suggests it will take more time and engine effort for the cold oil to get to the moving parts of the engine on startup... this is the time when the most wear occurs right?
#816 of 1922 struts by dayll May 04, 2007 (7:02 am)
I noticed while changing oil that the rubber boots on my 98 Accord (110,000 miles)struts have rotted away. Is this something that has to be rectified immediately or ? The ride is still good at this point. thanks - dayll Replies to this message: kiawah (May 04, 2007 7:09 am) user777 (May 04, 2007 8:01 am)

Replying to: dayll (May 04, 2007 7:02 am) I assume you are talking about the half shafts (the drive shafts going out to turn the front wheels).   You need to get this fixed pretty fast, damage might already be done.....which will mean replacing the half shafts. The boots keep the grease in and the water out, which will ruin the bearings on the inside.   You actually might be better off just having the half shafts replaced anyhow, and be done with it for another 100K miles.

kiawah - thanks for such a prompt reply. I'll take it in today. Will the cost be astronomical if the half-shafts are replaced? dayll

Replying to: dayll (May 04, 2007 7:02 am) confused, rubber boots on struts and on half-shafts / cv joints are two different things.   if there are rubber boots on a strut (i can't remember), unless there's a sign of leaking or suspension bouncing, i'd keep driving with them.   on the half-shaft or CV joint, personally, i wouldn't wait.

Sorry - I meant half-shafts not struts. They are being "rebooted" right now. Thanks again for the info and assistance. - dayll

#822 of 1922 2000 Accord SRS Light by niceguy May 19, 2007 (6:19 am)
Hello all,   Hope someone can shed a light for me here   I tơok my car to the dealer for transmission fluid change and wheel alignment this morning. When I got my car back, the SRS light went on. Can anyone tell me if the SRS light has anything to do with the work done ? and is there anyway that I can reset the SRS light ? I hate to spend more for the dealer.   Thanks Replies to this message: elroy5 (May 19, 2007 8:41 am) niceguy (May 19, 2007 3:25 pm) niceguy (May 21, 2007 4:57 pm)

There is an extended warranty on it. Somethign with a sensor and the seatbelts. It happened to me and they replaced the seatbelt fastener and a sensor no-charge, good luck.

Replying to: niceguy (May 19, 2007 6:19 am) If you want to try it yourself, here's a link that may help. Good luck http://www.ozaccord.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39   If the light comes back on again, you need to get it checked out though.
