Curious as to thoughts on raising the hood to more quickly dissipate underhood heat. I pop the hood to let the heat escape more quickly when I get home and my car seems "hot". Any one doing this and have an opinion if this is beneficial?

Replying to: blufz1 (Jul 20, 2008 4:00 pm) One thing that i've noticed is that using the RainX type of windshield washer fluid really helps when it rains, that i don't have to utilize the wipers nearly as much. The rain just beads off of the windshield. I would like to find a new driver's side carpet mat that is reasonably priced. Honda would rather sell a set, versus just one mat. Perhaps a junk yard may be the place to find it. I wanted to top off my coolant recently and compared the various types of coolants available. I found myself walking out of a store recently and seeing someone else adding Prestone to their Honda, for which i suggested there may be harmful silicates and borates in Prestone that could reduce the life of a Honda cooling system and water pump. Thus at that point i knew that i had made the decision to visit the Honda dealer, to buy coolant made specifically for my Accord. Per the discussion of heat under the hood. When i stop to buy gasoline, i always raise the hood, not just to check fluid levels, yet also to hopefully let some of that heat dissipate. Thus i keep the hood up till i'm ready to drive off. |

Living in the Southeast where it's mostly hot, one uses the air conditioner year round. I've been driving Honda's since 1986 and getting 200,000 plus miles on each car, yet this is the first one that i had to replace the power steering pump.

Hi, I purchased the accord EX 4cyl 09 last week and in my first tank, which is about 3/4th empty now, I got a mileage of about 300 miles. 80% interstate. Do you think that the mileage might increase in the near future or is thr a way to tune up to give better mileage?
