Replying to: elroy5 (Jun 10, 2009 12:47 pm) I agree. As long as my car is running well I don't want them to touch it. Unfortunately,changing and torquing spark plugs is about the limit of my mechanical acumen. Hated to let them replace 2 motor mounts and change the timing belt. Offended by them using a compressed air torque wrench. But,there it is. So far,so good. Fingers crossed.

Well got the auto back yep they replaced the WHOLE engine block. Like i said this is a 1st the dealersahip who replaced it they are close to the plant in marysville where they make mainly all the honda's. So to me i am satisfied with the service i got from them anyware else HE... TO THE KNOW. I like this auto but im giving it up in march 010 no extended warranty on the tranny so its a 2010 or a 09 or pilot or a accord.

Took my car into NTB and they said I need all 4 rotors and all 4 pads replaced. Car has 43k miles mostly city driving. I asked if they could machine the rotors and they said no. Price quoted was $500. I called a Honda dealer and they said the rotors should not have to be replaced as they are built to last 150-200k miles. He said they would probably machine them and just replace the pads. Price quoted was $445. What am I better off doing? thanks for any advice

Honda is noted for brakes rotors that warp. Don't know why they can't fix it. My 2007 wobbled when braking and they replaced the front rotors under warranty and said they were too warped to machine. And if you follow the mpg thread you know I brake very gently and my brake pad last a long long time, so I am not overheating the brakes.   The problem is if you machine a warped rotor you are removing more metal from the high parts and making a rotor of unequal thickness. This will make it warp again even faster. I would absolutely replace the rotors for only $55 more. Now if they were running an $89 per axle special as happens sometimes I might consider machining depending on how long I was going to keep the car and how hilly the area I live was.
#4670 of 4914 2007 Accord V6 Oil Filter adapter for a larger filter by texasgulfcoast Jun 12, 2009 (1:18 pm)
My 2007 Accord V6 has an Oil Filter about 1/2 the size of a Coke can. Does anyone make an Oil Filter adapter that would let me put a Full size filter on it? I cannot believe how small the filter is that came from the factory. It looks so small that I would change it once a week. Thanks in advance for the help.

Replying to: texasgulfcoast (Jun 12, 2009 1:18 pm) That filter hasn't given Honda any problems due to its size. I wouldn't change what isn't broken. I get an oil/filter change every 7,000-8,000 miles (whenever my maintenance minder is below 15%).

Replying to: texasgulfcoast (Jun 12, 2009 1:18 pm) Engines these days don't need large filters. The oil needs changing more because it's broken down, or has moisture in it. Not because it's contaminated with particles large enough to be filtered. The filter is sufficient, IMO.

Replying to: thegraduate (Jun 12, 2009 3:51 pm) Lordy, I hope there is never any moisture in my new car's oil that means a blown head gasket. Larger filters keep the oil cleaner longer especially with Synthetic oil. This is like running coffee grinds thru a thimble for 7k miles, some crud will get by. I guess the answer to my question is no. If anyone can find an adapter please reply to my post, Thanks in advance for any help.

Replying to: texasgulfcoast (Jun 12, 2009 11:52 pm) The moisture comes from heating and cooling metal (engine block). If you change the oil often enough, there will not be any "crud" in it, But hey, if you want a filter as big as a two liter, go for it. I guess you're smarter than Honda engineers.

Replying to: texasgulfcoast (Jun 12, 2009 11:52 pm) If you really feel the need for additional oil filtering, you might search for a "bypass oil filter" Here is an example:   http://www.amsoil.com/storefront/bf.aspx?CategoryID=79   Mrbill
