I brought my car in for service ( oil & filter change) and when I got it back I reset my maintenance minder but it's been showing the service code "B1" which is engine oil and filter change and also a tire rotation.
I brought it to my local Honda dealership and they reset it again but it still shows and the service code won't go away. Does anyone know how to get rid of this please?
I'm looking for a decent car that won't cause me too much trouble like breaking down or bad mpg. And that it has some speed in it not necessarily looking for a FAST car. But also don't want a car like a Honda civic or an integra or something like that. Maybe something more like a mercury Milan, a cts, mazda 3, etc. But yeah any cars you can think of would be great!
So my birthday is coming up and my mother and Decided its time for me to buy a car because ill being off to college soon. I was thinking about a 2008 Honda civic. Do you guys have any thoughts or suggestions when purchasing a car. Especially for a first time buyer?
I brought my car (Honda civic si 2014) into Honda dealership for a scheduled oil change and when I got my car back after about an hour I checked my oil life right away and it wasn't reset or anything. I thought Honda was supposed to reset it, so I did it myself.
Also after resetting my oil life, it shows a "B1" service code indicating to "change oil &filter". Is it possible that they didn't change it? Before the service I was arguing about them scratching my rim with a impact drill from prior service but they didn't wanna help me. I'm just curios cause it's annoying seeing the service code after it's been changed already. What should I do?
I just recently got the car. The car that I owned before was an older '97 model and I was used to getting regular(87 octane) gas for it. With this car, I got it from a used dealer/car shop and the car had little gas in it. So when I purchased the car, I had to go straight to the gas station to fill it up and I used the regular grade. The car was fine that day, but the next morning the check engine light came on. Everything was inespected, or so I've been told, from the oil being changed, brakes, transmission etc. I recently went back to the dealer so they could check the engine to see what was causing the light to be on. After the mechanic did his thing, he asked me what kind of grade of gas I was using and I told him regular which he then told me that that was the cause of the light being on and that I should use plus (89 octane) instead since its a newer model car. However, in the manual it said to use grade 87 OR UP. So basically should I listen to the manual or the mechanic? And while I'm waiting for my gas to deplete so that I can use the next grade, could anything acutely serious happen to my engine or am I fine for now and just use the next grade higher next time?
Can struts on Honda civic lx can get softer with time? - 1
Added (1). Can new struts on Honda Civic 2003 get softer with time. They are very bumpy now.
I have been getting oil changes with Honda motor oil for 15 years on my 2002 civic that now has 132K miles. If I switch to a generic $10 oil change garage shop will it still be ok?
I know the Honda filters are better then the cheapest generic ones but how about the actual motor oil?
The outside temperature was below 32 and it was close to 25 or so. When I was driving the car at 15 mph with engine temp still slightly above cold(not at optimal which is almost half way) and slowed down by using gentle brakes(not hard brakes). Just before the vehicle comes to a full stop, there's unintended acceleration and I could see even the rpm(scale) to spike temporarily. This has been happening every time when outside temp is cold and vehicle is driven with cold or slightly above cold engine temperature. Please note: this problem disappears when engine temperate is at optimal and I have been driving a Honda Civic for the last 7 years(was bought new ), I never had experienced this problem in that car even when driven with cold engine. What could it be? Car is still under warranty so any advice would help.
Okay so when I turn my headlights on, the low beams works. When I turn it the high beams on the headlight shut off and the parking light stay on.

Pulling my hair out for days trying to figure out how many bolts & studs my oil pan needs since I don't have access underneath the car. The Pan & Gasket have 18 holes but looking at the diagram with the link below it shows I only need 8 bolts, 4 studs & 10 nuts. The math does not add up should it be a combination of 18 bolts & studs?
