After my similar ordeal, I put some WD-40 to prevent seizing the next time. But one of the locks on my wheels is stripped. It does make you wonder sometimes,...
Yeah, it didn't even take 5 minutes, but it was some high powered and LOUD chisel. Not everyone is going to be carrying around those things everywhere to jack...
I have done some searching in the archives here and found some that have switched to Synthetic Oil. Just wanted a follow up on your experiences so far. I am...
Do not use WD-40 as an anti-seize. It is great for getting off very tough nuts and bolts, but it will make it harder to remove things if you put WD-40 on it...
I called my Acura dealership today and asked for the pricing for the cabin filter (for 1.7EL) and they quoted me $19.50 EACH. $39 + tax for two paper filters,...
I just posted a picture (under Photos) of the filter I got from Erin Mills Acura. They charged me $19.50 each. This was when I passed 48k km. My dirty filter...
Is anyone interested, or knows someone who is interested in a 2002 Acura 1.7EL Premium? The details are as follows: -All standard features for the 2002...
They're selling them for $19.50 each at my Acura dealership. I don't want to pay $39 for two filters when 'supposedly' Canadian Tire sells them for $20 a pair....
Yup. Stock tires you're talking about I assume. I believe my dealer didn't rotate mine when they were suppose to. Mine were almost at the indicators at...
I am currently using Mobil 1 5W30, for the past year and a half. No problems. Works great, smooth. I am also using the standard Honda oil filter and...
was at the Terrace Gate Acura the other day and they wanted $36 for the 4 L oil 5W20 and filter. man talk about rip... the part manager could not tell me why...
I Have owned my 98 EL since new and have now got 235,000 on the odometer. I drive all highway as you can tell, so what I am getting at is how long can I go...
You are probably good for another 100k before any real worries. Have a 97 Civic EX(330k) and 00 EL Premium (105k) both from new so I too am interested of the...
This is completely off topic but I'd has anyone noticed that the Honda Odyssey is incredibly overpriced ? Who are the billionares buying these yachts, John...
Well, what Honda Canada told you is correct. Dealers do operate independantly of Honda/Acura Canada, and are free to set their own prices for parts and...
... I'd say transmission is one thing that might go, unless you were really vigilant with tranny oil change (like every 50k). I'd keep on driving it until...
Hi Everyone: Just figured that seeing as how no one has posted any messages lately, that I'd post the 1st message of the year. Happy New Year to all and to all...
I've had snow tires for the last couple of years on the EL and they are also Toyo's...Observe X-10's to be exact. They shortly discontinued them and the G0-2,...
Unfortunately this is rather late in the season to be thinking about snow tires. Your choices are going to be limited. 1. I have snow tires on since...
Hey guys, I have a 99 1.6EL and I live in "Winterpeg" (although I've been living in the GTA for the past 1.5 years going to school). I've spent the holidays...
The other thing about the Blizzaks is that the siping only goes about 60% of the way down the tread, so once your tread wears down to that point, you've got...
Hi Acura Owners, Damn, my 2003 EL is less than four months old and it was keyed very badly yesterday during Vancouver's snow and cold snap. Didn't notice it...
Dean, That royally sucks. Hopefully it's not that serious. It depends on where the scratch is. If it's on a door or one of the side panels, repair shops tend ...
$181.95 for service at the local dealer!!! Does this seem extreme to anyone else? I would like to have my car serviced at the dealership but maybe not at...
... Well, just take a pocket knife and cut yourself some more sipings. :-) People, ditch the Firestone tires. They suck on dry pavement, they suck in the...
