Usually 5w30, or 0w30, fully synthetic, Castrol Edge.(2.0 petrol).

So far so good, please carry on with your excellent post.

Mine doesn't use any between oil changes at 6k to 8k miles.

On the subject of rear interior light, could someone tell me exactly how to remove the cover thus providing access to the bulb. I have a morbid fear of breaking trim clips etc. Cheers.

Hi, I agree with post no.2 above. Just make sure that squirt goes on the "piston like rod" and then pump a few times. Mine used to creak, but following using silicon spray it is now fine. No re-occurrence in the last 6 months or so. Cheers.

Hi, Don't bother with a micro sd card, use a usb stick instead. I use an 8 Gb one with no problem. Each CD becomes a folder and each track a file. The system will read out the track/file name so be careful how you name them if that is going to be a problem for you. The only other thing is that...

Well done. Carefully explained with decent photos.

Hi, I've got the 2.0 petrol Accord EX and it is fine if slow. The vtec engine encourages me to drive very steadily because to really get going you have to wind it right up. However, very reliable and worry free. Previously I had an X-type Jag, 2.0 diesel which was much much faster but believe...

Hi, I've used similar suppliers for several cars in the past and all have been fine. I'd like to replace the gaiter on my manual but I'm a bit concerned about access with regard to damage, plus I haven't got a clue about how to access it anyway.

Hi, There are posts on this forum which explain the service codes but bear in mind that when you reset the reminder it will show the next one due. The sun/moon indicates that it using days for the next service item, however that will change when the number of days gets down to a low number...

Just fitted the Denso ones as above. The OEM ones only lasted about 4 months (approx 3k miles), passenger one not too bad but the drivers one very smeary. I've cleaned, glass polished and even clayed but to no avail, will just have to wait and see how long these last.

Hi, I had a good look today and found the following. 1 - Ignition on, engine running or not, with Air Con on or Air Con auto on, the rad cooling fans go into a phased mode, ie, running for about 10 seconds then off for about 10 seconds and so on. 2 - Ignition on, engine running or not, with Air...

Hi, I've noticed recently that when I turn on the ignition when the engine is either cold or has been turned off for say 10 minutes or longer, both radiater cooling fans are running. Start the car and the fans switch off about 2 or 3 seconds. After running the car till it has warmed up, if I...

Hi, I've got a 2010 2.0 petrol manual EX saloon, 25k miles. Do the Honda spark plugs come with the gap preset? Either way, I always used to check the gap but I've driving diesel for some years now so a bit out of touch. I've looked everywhere and cannot find a reference to the gap so any advice...

hale-pope, Yes you can. My usb stick is 4gb. All tracks are MP3 format and all I did was copy each folder from my computer to usb stick. However, you may need to use a program to sort out the stick in to FAT depending upon the operating system of your computer. I used FAT sorter which is free...
