Oga Gazzuzz... thanks so much for your expert advice
My Acura MDX 2006 is consuming a lot of fuel (it's averaging 8 mpg)

It's showing PO172 and 175. I read a previous post where you said it's has to do with adjusting the valve. Can you please explain (in layman's terms) how to do it?

Or what's the solution (if not valve adjustment)?
Thanks

J35A54058904

Does this mean that the engine has been changed?



J35A5 is the correct engine.

Extensive diagnosis required.

Not sure what your transmission oil cooler looks like but that's a sample.


As for the other 2 options the local term is top gasket and cylinder.


I cannot explain any further, research more or find a humble mechanic.



Thank you. This is similar to my car model. Do you help people procure motor parts? I will like to order a new one. I will upload the pic of the exact type later

drain oil every 2000miles and you will be fine.
Re: ASK GAZZUZZ by davit: 9:53am On Dec 17, 2020
Just seeing this. I will check all you said and get back. Thanks.
GAZZUZZ:


Search for the abs fuse, it is blown. It is a block fuse, not like the regular fuses I have a feeling wires have been joined in that region instead of replacing it in the past.


Also replace the defective wheel speed sensor .

Use Peugeot planet diagnostic tool to adjust contrast or invert colours, you might get better display.

If it does not work replace MFD.

Avoid extreme heat wind down a bit when parked in the sun

A car could be shorting oil for different reasons, now if a car has over 300k miles , it will short oil for the obvious reasons .....


1. Pc valves could be worn out and needs replacement
2. Engine valve seals could need replacement ....these two things needs to be check before recommending a higher weigh oil like 20w50 , AkA engine oil killer lol....

All these are from experince.. One of my old 2003 civic was shorten oil .. I was told due to the car been old with high mileage to use heavier oil weight , so I had them check pc valves, and it was in excellent shape. There is no way I would use engine oil killer 20w50 on my car ..

So I had Ayo Bishop take a look at it .. It was oil seal rubber worn out into pieces.. It was very obvious cause when he took out engine valve cover, you could see the worn out rubber.. He replaced it with another one, the car never short oil after that....

Samething with an elantra engine that I bought personally myself .. When I replace old engine with tokunbo engine , the engine was shorten oil , Ayo open up the engine valve cover, guess what ? Seal was worn out and replace .. Six months later the engine running fine with no issue at all .. The engine had 137k miles on it when it was imported by me ....
