The system monitors throttle pedal position, throttle butterfly position, road speed, engine speed and engine vacuum. Use for comparison purposes only. If you want to see what the upcoming code is going to be, press and hold the button for ~10 seconds while on the oil life screen and it will show the next code. As others said, it's probably not needed at this time. The strut seals should not have failed with only 37,000 miles. Besides allowing engineers to program the relationship between throttle pedal movement and engine response, the system offers a better drivability and optimizes engine response to suit driving conditions. However, the dealer recommended that I have the transmission fluid changed.
New lightweight pistons have a carefully optimized skirt design to minimize reciprocating weight, and reduced weight minimizes vibration and increases operating efficiency. I drove the car after, runs and drives just fine. If you have recently refueled your Honda, this light may display to warn you of a loose or missing fuel filler cap. But I follow the maintenance minder, which calls for an oil change every 7000 miles since I drive mostly on freeways, and thus I asked for the plugs to be changed at the 102K service, rather than waiting until the next service at 109K. These are oil change and engine air filter and cabin air filter changes. The air pressure in each tire was 38 psi. .
Typically these severe service intervals are about half the mileage of the normal service intervals, which implies 50K is about right for a normal interval. The taller final gear allows for a relaxed cruising rpm and enhanced fuel efficiency. The exhaust ports are now located on the front side of the engine the previous-generation Accord had the exhaust ports located on the rear of the engine which provides greater freedom in the layout of the close-coupled catalytic converter which mounts directly to the cylinder head. Engine Block, Crankshaft and Pistons The Accord's 2. I don't think you mentioned which model Honda you have. If you're still worried about the life of your automatic transmission, install a temperature gauge that lets you know exactly how hard your gearbox is being pushed.
Expanded torque-converter multi-disc lock-up control improves the efficiency of power delivery and works with the new gear ratios to provide an improvement in fuel efficiency, as compared to a conventional design. There is still some hesitation when the car is in drive and stopped. Missing signatures to certify that the inspection was done. I always recommend following the manufacturer's suggestions to the letter: The safest course is to change the fluid and filter as specified in the owner's manual. It turned out that the bolts through the rear anti-sway bars were rusted and they had to cut them off with a torch, replace the bars, and get new bolts from the Honda dealer. The system is electronically controlled, and uses special integrated spool valves in the cylinder heads.
It was more than the tires. I know it's a bit overkill, but not by much. Thanks guys, I appreciate the quick responses. Change your battery at year 4, it could last 5 years but you run risk it conks out on you. You fill it with fluid whatever the spec is, I can't recall for sure , shift it through the gears, and remove that plug with the engine switched off. Fees and programming subject to change. On our Jeep Patriot the standard change is at 120,000 -miles-, and for severe driving, its at every 60,000.
There is a small display that shows temperature, mileage, How much farther you can go with the amount of gas left and… As much as the seller charges for it. This special logic makes it easy for the driver to command a quick downshift without leaving the convenience of Drive mode. Typically, when there's a car with two engine choices, we suggest opting for the more expensive and more powerful V6. The system combines maximum performance and maximum fuel efficiency — two characteristics that don't typically coexist in conventional engines. One year is the max I would go before changing it. When doing change, put in the specified amount: 2. Many after-market repair services, such as the mass-marketers chain stores , hire non-Honda-trained people to work on your high-technology vehicle.
Let's not read more into the article than is there. So my car is exactly three years old, has 29,000 miles on it, and I just dropped it off at the dealer for service. The Honda Owner Link site is a valuable resource for anyone who owns a Honda, and it's absolutely free. Is it covered under my 5 year 60,000 mile power train warranty? If anyone knows of subreddits other than for automotive mechanical support, please message the mods so we can add it! With its additional gear ratio, expanded torque converter lockup range and better efficiency, it contributes a 3. It has more to do with liability than anything else - the manufacturer doesn't want another Firestone fiasco on their hands.
If it hasn't shown up by 50,000 or 60,000 then maybe consider getting it changed at that time. An integrated exhaust manifold cast into each cylinder head reduces parts count, improves flow and optimizes the location of the close-coupled catalyst. I go in for my routine oil change and routine tune-up at the given mileage marks, and if anything seems off I just ask or they'll tell me if they find anything. At my fifth oil change, at 51K, I got codes A, 1, and 3. One converter mounts directly to the front of the cylinder head, close-coupled for fast activation after the engine is started. The D mode is ideal for most driving situations, and combines fuel efficiency with smooth operation and responsive power when needed.
The lock-up assembly uses multiple lock-up disks that generate nearly double the facing area of a typical torque converter. It may also acquire a burned odor that could indicate it needs to be changed or that the transmission is developing mechanical problems. And the transmission specialist just buys it from Toyota. But the problem is that the owner's manual says that I need to change my oil because it's been one year since the last change and change my brake fluid because it's been three years , and yet Maintenance Minder is not giving me any codes and saying that I have 30% oil life. This oil pressure in turn drives synchronizing pistons that connect and disconnect the rocker arms. However, in cars like the Prius, it can result in excess engine noise as the transmission continuously keeps the engine in the best range for power and fuel economy.
