If your car burns a 5W30 oil weight, I'll suggest you switch to a slightly thicker oil (like a 10W40). Use any brand you can afford (as long as it's genuine) with an equally good filter.

Okay....My car doesn't burn oil...the exhaust is very clear and colourless ...it doesn't smoke atal.
Just some leaks under the engine which I intend to fix today or tomorrow...

I wouldn't wanna use any oil outside the recommended grade.(5w-30).
Pls suggest a good filter that can go with Mobil 1.

Hello house.

My 2017 Honda pilot V6 jerks (very lightly and barely noticeably) when accelerating between 35 and 50mph. It also takes time to accelerate from 35-65mph in general. When I turn off the Economy mode, the acceleration is a little smoother, but not completely. I am guessing this is some transmission issue, but have no idea what it really is. This car was recently bought used and the mileage is relatively fair (67k).

I do not know if this is a common issue with Honda because I have always used Toyota and I have never had this kind of issue.

Please advise, and thanks.

Check Jiji, jumia or your local part store for price sir.
If they don't have they should supply another good alternative

If you suspect there's an issue with the transmission, you can scan it with a professional scanner that can scan transmission to see if it has trouble codes.

Post the codes if any for remote assistance.

Stick to OEM Honda Filter. I used to have a few lying but I doubt any still remains at the moment.

Okay. Can you direct me on where to get a genuine one?

Is Fram a good alternative?

I don’t know your location,
Fram is a good aftermarket part, but ensure you get your parts from reliable sources.

Omoooo honda

Okay... I'm in the East.(Abia state)

Thurmieee:

The camera sensor that was changed want bringing code dey just changed for changing sake.
It didn't bring any code. The codes it brought then were for the VTEC wire that cut.
Since I changed the gasket the car hasn't run at optimal performance again

Have you solved this issue?

Normal issue. Not a death sentence.
Scan for codes. Won't be surprised if there are no codes.

RuneKingThor:

Have you solved this issue?

Nope....I eventually sold off the car when it wanted to kill me. I got no help. Still took it to oyingbo no solution.

That's crazy.

When the Rpm dropped, was there smell of petrol around the car or did it smoke? It could have been a case of petrol flooding one of the cylinders.

Nope.
The car would just not accelerate if I come to a stop. They set the timing countless times. The timing was always jumping

I bought the engine last year

I drive a 2013 honda accord, the brake lights on the dashboard has been perpetually on. I have scanned the car but didnt see anything. What could be wrong.

Check your break fluid and top accordingly.
Check if your hand brake is malfunctioning.
Check your brake pads.
It will disappear….

Service your brake callipers. That should clear it. Had same experience last year. Even put new pads. It was when I serviced my calliper that it cleared

Thank you sir. I went for a scan yesterday and it returned "0 DTC". The best immediate help I could get to understand what that meant was a Google search which did not really help. I am not sure if the scanner is sophisticated enough as you recommended.

That's relieving to know. Much appreciated sir. I am not sure if there could have been more codes, but I really hope it's nothing major as you guessed.

This civic engine and its adjuster always has issues only in Nigeria. It’s like the serpentine belt that people use here are either the wrong size or maybe the adjuster itself is failing and due for a change.

If I were you, I’d have 2 options now.

1. I will do whatever you did 3 months ago when you repaired it last, but this time also remember to change the adjuster itself too just in case that is where the issue is from. Also have you changed the belt before? make sure your belt is the factory recommended size. Sometimes people use shorter/smaller belts and it causes the type of issues you’re having.

2. If that doesn’t work I will then take the engine to a machinist who will bore the adjuster bolt hole on the engine block itself to a wider diameter then use a bigger bolt for it.

A mechanic said they can change the adjuster to adjustment, how possible is dat cos also I had experience power steering bot breaking and also the compressor in the past.. my main problem in this car av been from this belt side of my car and I'm getting fed up.. pls do u have idea of adjustment

Buy another belt, Replace adjuster, and bolt, sack mechanic, employ a highly competent mechanic who knows how to install the serpentine belt properly.

The only common thing that links all these other components in your engine whose bolts you say have broken in the past is the adjuster and belt . I believe if you change both at the same time this issue should be taken care off.
