I was going to do mine earlier this year but the oil,filter,O ring cost more than the dealer charged. I have had the 05 & the 07 Civic Hybrid ---They usually...
... Actually, Insights now do use the same filter as lots and lots of other Hondas/Acuras. The original *small* Insight oil filter (p/n 15400-PFB-004) was...
... Meaning, from the oil dipstick hole? ... As Ricky wrote later, oh yes, there's a filter down there. I have to believe that you must have taken your Insight...
Wow, I did not realize that filter had been discontinued. I have been using "Wally World" SuperTech filters on my car but replacing them at every oil change...
No, really... Are you kidding? Did you not read the Maintenance Schedule in the Owner's Manual, which specifies oil filter replacement every 15,000 miles? Did...
... Actually it does. Stealth mode refers to the period when you are lightly braking and have slowed enough that the engine has shut down. In the unlikely...
Alan, Okay. Yes! Mine does that!!! I thought the original post had something to do with the vehicle running on battery power alone - like the Prius ... hence...
Sweet! Deviation from title - why doesn't Honda get the press that Toyota gets whenever the news people speak of "hybrids"?? Seems like it is always ...
If you take time to cut open any brand "after market" oil filter for an Insight- any size- and compare the size of the element with the element of a...
Hi, does anybody have experience with installing a larger aftermarket tail pipe on a Honda Insight? Did it provide any performance gains? Thanks, -Ed Chan ...
Hard to see how it would help- unlesss you are making a race car. With the multiple cat converters and control system, the engine management is set up for...
I'm confused... does my 2008 HCH even run 'stealth mode' i.e. on battery alone, no gas engine, and not otherwise coasting or braking?? Steve Disclaimer - This...
I drive a manual Insight, not a HCH. As far as I can tell, this "stealth mode" that people keep referring to is really nothing more than coasting in neutral,...
If you had an Insight AND did the MIMA modification on it, it could. ... -- Jim Isbell "If you are not living on the edge, well then, you are just taking up...
So if you run out of gas, you can't run on batteries alone (with Civic Hybrid)? ________________________________ From: David Milner <yatdave@...> To:...
It does, but it's nothing like a Toyota's. Toyota's are a series/parallel system and can run on just the electric motor at low speeds. Honda is a parallel...
Certainly not with the Insight. I have no reason to think it's any different with the Civic. Again, someone correct me if I'm wrong. All hybrids aren't the...
hey gang, I just noticed a 2001 automatic silver insight for sale on craigslist in Orange County, Calif. Asking $12,500. 82k miles. Anyone interested???...
You are not referring to the HCH 3rd Vtec mode available now. My 2007 does run "stealth" @ 30-40 km/hr as long as I'm able to fidle with the accelerator ;-) ...
From my experience with my '08 Civic Hybrid, if you think of it as a gas powered car with a small gas engine and an "electric booster" to make up for the...
I'm entering my first winter with my '08 HCH. To my dismay, MPG has dropped from solidly in the mid 40's to the mid-to-upper 30's. Is this typical in...
Part of the drop may be due to the different formulation of gasoline used for winter. It can cause a drop in mileage on its own. Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T ...
Yes that's normal. I normally get in the mid to low 100s in the hot Phoenix summers in my 2000 Insight and now in the mild fall and winter temps I'm down to...
Steve, I drive an 06 HCH in S/E PA (Philly area) and the drop in mileage you see is normal. Lots of reasons for this, including delayed activation of...
