Is something wrong with my Civic, 2008?

I changed from Mobil 2000 5w30 to Synthetic 5w30 and I noticed this loud humming noise coming from the engine. This usually happens in the morning or at evening when heading home after work.

The noise reduce/go away when the engine gets hot.

Have driven about 1,500km since the last oil changed.

Gazzuzz et al

Thanks.

GAZZUZZ:


Pic of what you bought?

honsule:
My Toyota corolla 2005. Although it didn't display check light, scanning display these codes. The last time it was the fuel cap that wasn't closed very well by the fuel attendant

Former and current. Thanks.

GAZZUZZ:


what's your oil change interval on both oils

FineUsername:


Used Mobil 2000 5w30 for almost 4 months at 2,750km before switching to Synthetic due to scarcity of the former.

GAZZUZZ:


please Run a test, turn on the car without the AC and watch if the fan comes on. Ensure you wait and only give up if the temp goes above the half mark. Also ensure the temp sensor 2 which is at the base of the radiator is firmly connected.

If the fan comes on, buy a brand new radiator.

GAZZUZZ:


is your vehicle calibrated in miles or km? Meanwhile noise is not caused by lubrication

Hello Gazzuz,

Sorry to interfere, I have followed the thread silently for a while and picked a few tips here and there.

But what's the relevance of the question in bold as regards oil change?

I'm asking because a Honda Civic (of that generation) has the option of choosing the display to read either in miles or in km. There's also an indicator which displays the oil life in %.

seanfer:


Reason for the question is because some people don't if their odometer reading is in MPH or KM.

olumzzz:

The reason for the question is to know the frequency of your oil change.
If you're to change every 3,000km, it won't be the same thing if your vehicle is calibrated in miles.

My Toyota Corolla 2005 scheduled maintenance Guide states the followings:-

MILES OR MONTHS:
Toyota recommends obtaining scheduled maintenance for your vehicle every 5,000 miles or six months,whichever comes first. For example: If you drive 5,000 miles in less than six months, you should obtain maintenance at 5,000 miles-don't wait until six months.

so, to me i reset trip A & B when i service my car and use that as a basis for my next service. Also i google has this to say:

Miles and kilometer both are units for measuring any length or distance. In the U.S. and U.K., the standard way of measuring is miles, whereas in all of the other countries the standard unit of measuring is kilometer. Both the terms mean thousand in their respective places they have originated from.

olumzzz:


Good. Hope you know that maintenance schedule is recommended oyel. ANd not our popular 20w50.

I drive a Honda City 2007 with a little over 135k miles. Right now the ride vibrates badly when engaged on drive when, maybe, in traffic or not in motion. Airflow system is the suspect, tried tweaking on that but still no solution.

What could be the problem?

Thanks already guys.

GAZZUZZ: Thanx once more for the good job you are doing.

The serpentine belt was removed today, the entire pulleys were inspected, and we couldn't find any faulty...
The mechanic went ahead to change the serpentine belt and the bearing on the tensioner pulley. But the noise still persisted.. The mechanic now suggested that we put a new Water pump and a new Alternator to see if the sound will stop, But I asked him to give me time to think about it and you can find the best tips on maintainence of your car from here on [url]jeep hunter.https://jeephunter.net/[/url]
What's your opinion on this?
