I have a '17 LX with 64K and have not had anything done on the brakes yet. They seem to be fine. Wondering when others have had to replace brake parts on a 10th gen with 64K. When it's time, I'll probably have a local mechanic I like do it rather than the dealer. Also, what are the symptoms of...
That's what helped me too. I did it in the street in front of my house which is perfectly sloped so that car ramps on the front wheels made the car level.
Sure, and if you make a mistake changing your engine oil, you can fry your engine. It all depends on how handy and confident you are. I did the research on changing (drain and fill) the CVT fluid and successfully did it myself last year when the Maintenance Minder said to. It's a little...
I am surprised to see this topic cropping up in the CivicX forum of all places yet very pleased to see the sincere, thoughtful replies. Thank you, Kenny, for making the decision to bring it up. I am sad that you are dealing with these issues where you live and agree that the tensions of the...
It's interesting that you love both the Korean and Japanese people, considering that there's some animosity between those two peoples due to historic things that occurred between them. It shows that they are both good peoples.
H9 headlight bulbs instead of H11. I bought and modified H9's and they provide the level of light you wished the stock bulbs had.
2. A "low windshield washer fluid" warning light.
I have a 17 'LX and solved the weak headlight issue by replacing the stock H11 bulbs with H9's. You need to modify the H9's but it's not that hard to do - there's info online about it. H9's are 65W vs. 55W for H11's and it makes a huge difference. The H9's only last couple of years but they are...
Many years ago, it was time to change oil + filter on my 1990 Civic. But it was winter and there was snow and ice on the street where I always did the changes. Miraculously a coupon arrived from the Honda dealer offering an oil + filter change for a great price. The afternoon after I had the...
Excellent advice. While it's not hard to change oil and filter, it IS hard the first time because you've never done it before. Make sure you have all tools and supplies you'll need and so watch a YouTube video on current generation Civic oil change.
Hi, all. My car (17 LX sedan with 2.0 engine and CVT) has 49,850 mi. and the #3 just came on to change the transmission fluid. How about just draining the fluid, carefully measuring the volume of what came out and simply adding exactly that much back?
I'm not sure if the steering is any tighter when Cruise Control is on. I'll have to check. I wish the US version had the low WW fluid dash indicator! On a happy note, I finally received the reimbursement check from American Honda this week for the $802.22 I paid last spring to replace the...
Happy New Year, All -
Thought I’d share my impressions after owning a new 2017 LX for 3 years and 49,000 miles and see how much I have common with other 10th Gen owners. I live in the Boston area and have a Lunar Silver LX.
THE GOOD:
SOLID RIDE – Rides like an Accord from 20 years ago. The...
Besides the harsh tone, your answer doesn't cut it for another reason. I've had 4 Hondas and 4 Toyotas in my lifetime and don't remember a floor mat wearing through like that so early. This mat is of inappropriately low quality and so is the carpeting behind the pedals, which is also falling...
This is what my driver's side floor mat looks like today at 45,400 miles on my '17 LX. The hole started quite a while ago, like yours, probably around 25K. Why Honda would use such flimsy floor mats makes no sense. Plus the carpeting behind the pedals has worn through and the stuffing is falling...
That's what I've used too. I buy 5 quart jugs on Amazon, Walmart or auto chain websites. Whoever has the best price, and I use the Mobil M1-110a filter.
It's funny. It seems they are more likely to pay for a post-warranty repair (a good will repair) if you have purchased multiple vehicles at that dealership and had your vehicles serviced by them. However, their behavior in not repairing my sub-standard AC system out of good will makes me far...
