Hello house, a friend of mine wants to buy used Honda Accord (adidas). I don't know the year of manufacture though, but I'll attach a pic of the dash board if the gurus in the house can use that to give any info. Hope it's not a problematic car? Hope it's fuel consumption isn't too high and cost of maintenance as well?

Cc: Gazzuzz, Siena and other gurus.

Its usually from the lower arm ball joint. Some kazeem's would cut a piece of rubber from a tire and install there. Another usual cause is the ball joint top part moves against the hole which it is supposed to fit it tightly. I have seen mechanics tag-weld it to stop it from turning while the steering is turned.

Please Oga Luvinhubby & Gazzuz kindly advice, my brother's 03 Honda element got submerged in water and has refused to start after having it worked on by a mechanic/electrician (kazeems). He told me the transmission fluid was drained n refilled with 6 cans of Atf-DW1 instead of 4. I am thinking of going over to have the car scanned and if possible relocate the vehicle thanks.

What kind of 'work' did they do on the vehicle?

And how do you refill the gear fluid of a car that had refused to start in the first place?
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by obitryce(m): 9:37am On Jun 29, 2016
He said water was drained from the dashboard, gearbox, plug areas & engine. Don't know what else has been done except the fact that they tried starting the car severally to the extent of draining the battery.

I have a 2008 Honda Accord I4 engine that is almost due for an oil change. The issue now is I am currently in d east and I can't find the recommended 5w20 oil. The closest I have seen is 5w30 from Mobil. Is it advisable for me to use the 5w30 synthetic oil that Is available or I have to find the 5w20 at all cost. GAZZUZZ, Luvinhubby, Mayor2013 pls help.

stick with the 5W30 do not switch. Engine protection beats the negligible fuel economy you will get from 5w20.

My ppl, I just saw this angry-looking discussion continues somewhere and apart from that mean all-black colour and unique headlights, this beast has 4 exhaust outlets. I know Honda v6 normally has double exhaust, but this guy has 4.
Could this be a DC v8? Is that possible? Or just some serious love-vendor-my-ride shit?

I concur Sir.

The car looks like a hearse already angry

I wonder what appeals to the 'aesthetic' senses of people who fancy painting their cars so.

But hey, our ideas of 'beautiful' differ from person to person. Plus, na the owner get hin car. He can paint it however he pleases.

Plz, make una leave the colour of that car and answer my questions. Like you rightly said, it's his choice.
I just want to know if you have seen an accord with 4 exhaust and what it has in d hood.
