If you're running the 2.0 Non-Turbo - 30% is too early If you're running the 1.5 Turbo - 30% is spot on IMHO

Having a manual trans , I use it all the time.

To clarify , they're a group III base oil. See chart below.

Personally I love hatchbacks. But my wife wanted a trunk (she'd been driving a 2003 Pontiac Vibe for 14 years) so we bought a sedan.

Agreed , as much effort that they put into disguising it , you would of thought they went with a whole new design. But nope , behold the 2/3 Pilot with a few more inches of ground clearance.

I'd run it . It's Dexos Rated/Licensed and it has API Starburst. But like Civicdabest-Foo stated, there are other name brands out there for the same price or less. Currently I'm running Quaker State Ultimate Durability 0W-20 that I purchased for $15.00 (5qt container) on sale a few months ago.

Honda recommends changing the brake fluid every three years, regardless of mileage.

Blue smoke is oil , I'd film it doing it and take it to the dealer , see if you can speak with their shop foreman or service manager and demonstrate it for him/her if possible.

I use the Fram Ultra XG7317 filter for two oil change intervals. Like mentioned before , Bobistheoilguy.com holds it in high praises , it's a very good filter for the price. New ones are now rated for 20K miles.

+1 - Last oil change I looked for the drain plug underneath and couldn't see anything, nor could I find a fill hole. So it'd be nice a least to see where they are. 9th gen procedure states you had to pull the drivers side tire/wheel to access both. Maybe it's the same for the 10th gen :dunno:

Good point. And the longer you keep a K&N in ,the more dirt it accumulates and in theory the more efficient it becomes. But data doesn't lie. http://www.nicoclub.com/archives/kn-vs-oem-filter.html To obtain flow , one must give up efficiency. And for the majority of the population that drives...

Sacrificing filtration efficiency for air flow is ok on a race car. But I don't see the benefit on a daily driver. No K&N air filters in my cars anymore. Besides, the biggest obstruction in the intake system is the throttle plate.

Just to clarify some info - the Honda OEM filter is a good filter. No issues with using it. But Honda seems to favor flow vs filtration. Efficiency for the OEM is 66.5% vs Fram Ultra is 99% Again no issue in using either one. Just wanted everyone to know. See pdf file link below where Amsoil...

Currently running Mobil 1 EP 0w20 and a Fram Ultra XG7317 filter. Next oil change, I'll be using Mobil 1 AFE 0w20 . It was on sale at Costco last month for $25.99 (pack of 6qts) ,and had a $12 rebate.

Had the recall performed on ours. No issues. In and out with an appointment. 1 hr.

Congrats on the flippin sweet hatch ! :beer: I like that color. :thumbsup:

It's like a DX model.

Yes, I'll continue to buy Honda vehicles.
