Experts agree that, in general, it remains a good suggestion. But there is new under the sun: the 5W20 oil, adopted two years ago by Honda and Ford on most of their models.All mechanics say that 5W20 oil is less viscous, which reduces fuel consumption. Can it be used in other recent cars Honda and Ford ? Experts suggest to stick to the manufacturers recommendations and they propose the 10W30 for older cars. However, they maintain that 5W20 can be used in all safely engines: Oil consumption will increase slightly, but we'll save fuel and it will not damage the engine; unless you have a very worn engine, gasoline is more expensive than oil.

How do I replace a Honda car key?
Losing the car key to a honda replacement key is something you will want to avoid unless you had the foresight to keep a spare immediately on hand. Getting a replacement key is simple if you have kept the key number tag. However, the task becomes quite a bit more challenging without the key number tag, which provides the key-maker with necessary data. Replacing the key may get expensive because most modern day Honda keys are technologically sophisticated devices with electronic circuits that let you to do things like lock the car doors remotely. In addition, a Honda car equipped with immobilizer anti theft protection will not start unless a properly coded key is inserted in the ignition.Locate the key number tag that you should have received along with the car keys when you acquired your Honda vehicle. For late-model Hondas, the tag is typically a small piece of plastic, measuring about one inch by two inches, displaying a bar code and some numbers. For older Hondas, the tag might be a piece of metal with numbers stamped into it.Find a Honda dealer, and place your order for a new key. The dealer will use the key code data from the tag to make your replacement key. Other businesses besides authorized Honda dealerships may offer to sell you a blank key, but it still will have to be cut and programmed at a Honda dealer if your car is equipped with the immobilizer theft-deterrent device.Decide which kind of Honda car key you want: a master key or a valet key. Both will start the ignition. The difference is that a master key with a remote transmitter will let you lock or unlock the car doors from a short distance away. Some master keys also let you remotely open the trunk. A valet key lacks the remote device but will open a car door if inserted in the keyhole. It will also open the trunk, as long as the trunk release handle has not been locked.If you cannot locate your Honda's key number tag, contact the dealer where you bought the car. The dealer might have recorded the key code information when he sold you the Honda. Even if the dealer does not have that information on hand, he should be able to advise you on how to get a replacement key. This process might take some time and will likely require you to prove ownership of the car.
How long can I drive with a bad wheel bearing?
From my experience until it seizes…and it will.I noticed the first issue while driving on a highway at about 140kph on a wet road. The car felt twitchy from time to time…just snatching a little to one side every now and again. Eventually there was a ping that sounded like I had thrown a rock under the wheel well.After I got home, it was about a 150km journey, I checked the rear wheel and saw that the bearing cap had gone and grease had spilled out of the bearing. So that was the ping I heard while driving the previous day.Next morning I tried to drive it to the dealer, but could only make it about 2km to the nearest Canadian Tire outlet. The scream from the bearing was intense and the wheel was dragging.The rollers in the bearing had lost all their case hardening and were wearing down in diameter. Eventually they started to catch under the bearing cage. At this point the bearing is not far from seizing all together, and soon after I might have been overtaken by a wayward wheel. A three wheeled car, even those that are intended to be that way, doesn’t handle well.Don’t do it. Get the bearing replaced today but don’t take it to Canadian Tire who gave me the car back without it’s bearing cap because it didn’t come in with one…doh!PS. a failing bearing can allow the wheel to cant/camber pushing the brake pads off the disk (they normally float just off the disks). The pedal will go to the floor until you pump it up…something you may not even think to do in the panic.
What happens to your car if you remove the thermostat?
What happens to your car if you remove the thermostat?Some years back, I bought a beautiful 1998 Volvo V90 - my “collectors car of the future” (very low mileage and one owner). I noticed that the engine temperature never got up to normal level and, when I drove fast on the motorway, the temperature actually fell as I drove faster. These are normally symptoms of a thermostat that is stuck “open”.I took the car to the local independent Volvo garage and asked the owner of the garage to replace the thermostat. He took the thermostat cover off and, to the amazement of both of us, there was no thermostat present.A soon as a thermostat was fitted, the engine quickly reached correct operating temperature and, in addition, the fuel consumption fell by about 30%.
