What can cause new motor mounts break in 6 months?
I have a Honda crv, the car had some rumbling noise whenever it start moving from idle, my mechanic told me motor mounts are broken and I had them replaced all the mounts ( 3 motors, 1 transmission).
But then less than 6 months later, the left and right mounts are broke again.
And so obviously what they sold me aren't very good quality dispite they claimed they're top quality.
But my question is, even if the mounts are cheap, what are the things that could break new mounts in 6 months?
I thought new mounts should last at least 2 years btw, thank you.
Do not overthink it. Parts fail for many reasons. Get the mounts replaced with factory Honda parts only. If you want to spend some money, have another shop check if your car is misfiring.
Excessive vibration will weaken support structures. I've seen someone attach a thick rod to an engine bolt and then to the chassis to keep his V-6 from moving too much. Look for the root cause first. No modern engine in good working order should be moving that much. Pop the hood and have someone rev the engine to see what's going on. If need be, find a large unoccupied parking lot, pop the hood (remove is better) and attach a camera to record what's going on under engine acceleration with a drive-train load. Get some help from intelligent/knowledgeable people if you do this. I'm not responsible for any sckrew-ups.
- How to break in new front rotors and front breaks on a sport bike? The bike is a 2004 Honda cbr 600 f4i to be exact. I got stock rotors and brakes. I just need to know how to wear them in properly so I don't get warping or anthing.
- If I don't service my new car for first 100,000 miles will it break down? Will just do synthetic oil changes every 15,000 miles + oil filter and air filter every 30,000 miles. No other services. Will my Honda last that long without any problems?

- If in the owners manual it says I should use 5W-20 motor oil, can I use 10W-40 motor oil instead? I have a 2009 Honda Fit. I just recently bought 10W-40 and when I got home to put oil in the manual said 5W-20. What's the difference? And is it okay if I still use the 10W-40?
