AMSOIL Synthetic Manual Synchromesh Transmission Fluid

There is a check bolt. Needs a new sealing washer.

Honda does not want antifreeze that has the ingredient 2-ethylhexanoic acid. It was something about damage to rubber gaskets and requiring more frequent maintenance.

With the rear on stands I can just barely get to the front jack point. I have to slide the jack under from behind the front wheel.

The lights aren't super bright but they need to be aimed correctly. My headlights came pointed at the ground. Its supposed to be done at the factory but I guess the headlight guy was taking a break nap when your CTR rolled off the production line. There is a screw/bolt that adjusts them. I can...

Not magnetic on R.

No one has time to open the clutch slave cylinder and look inside.

Do you even have a warranty at 50km? This is definitely not warranty... but sometimes you get lucky and they cover it. Here is the first google search result for "windshield polish".

Costco is Top Tier. Where you using Top Tier gas before?

Honda sells 0W-16 Ultimate Full Synthetic Motor Oil. The requirement for oW-20 oil is based on emissions and fuel economy. The UK/Ireland Civic owners manual says heavier oil can be used outside of Europe (not referring to US) where the fuel/emission regulations aren't as strict. 0W-20, 0W-30...

Same engine but the CRV is tuned to 190hp. It has lower compression (10.3:1) and higher boost (+18.5psi). Civic EX-T is 10.6:1 and +16.5psi. Then add ~500lb and what you get is significantly more load on the engine. My guess it that idling/driving in stop and go traffic with a cold engine...

Was the analysis normal other than the dilution? Did it indicate excess wear?

Honda can't endorse a more viscous oil in the US. 0W-20 was used to calculate emissions for CAFE and can't be officially changed. This is from the UK/Ireland owners guide and has international oil specs. 0W-30, 5W-30, and 10W-30 are ok as long as the brand is API certified. note that "Except...

Replace the rubber. The rubber on the OEM wipers doesn't last more than a year but is cheap to replace.

Replace MTF. The dealer might do it for free or switch to Amsoil. The transmissions is still breaking in so try to be gentle. I would expect it to get better soon unless the trans is defective.

Are the prices USD or CAD?

It is easy to read. Don't pay attention to color because you will never see the oil on the orange plastic. Look at the 2 square holes in the orange plastic. A film of oil will stay inside there. As long as the lower hole has oil and the top one is dry the level is ok.
