my 1st Honda
This coupe is not mine but the same generation & color. It got me into learning how to fix everything in a vehicle. From suspension to the transmission, it was not a reliable Honda..

Valvoline Restore and Protect. Then run Amsoil each change thereafter, swap PCV. Take for aggressive highway drives
not much of a loss there, sad but this car looks to have lived a HARD life. Doubt it would do much in the way of protection for occupants seeing all that engine compartment structure damage...
@@inspiration2284 it is toast... It overheated beyond being worth the repairs sadly.
Did you try changing the pcv valve?
Thank you so much for this helpful video!!
Thank you so much, my friend. I have been trying to fix the window on my wife's escape for several days. She had the exact same problem verbatim. Window rolled halfway down, wouldn't roll up, etc. I removed the motor and saw the regulator cable underneath it, just as you did. When I saw that was the source of a problem I thought to myself that it seemed like something I could fix I've had at least three mechanics tell me it wasn't possible to fix. Clearly they were misinformed.

I switched to 5w30 in my Acura and it burned oil. Burned a quart in 1000 miles
Oil and filter change ever 6 months or 5k miles which ever comes first any big name oil (I stay away from super tech unless I'm broke) look on here for oil filter test by engineers for filtering ability and pick a brand. I like Mobil 1 right now. Good luck.
Not smart! Don't listen to this armature. Always use manufactures recommended viscosity oil.
@@TheAZPro-yi8bu it states in the manufacturers book that thicker viscosities can be used in higher temps. Please avoid spreading misinformation without doing proper research my man.
@@SamslamminCars where? I have a subaru and it never says that
@@WhereMyCountryLies States it in the oil maintenance part of the booklet.
@@SamslamminCars yes, it says that you can use this oil if you have nothing else... but should do an oil change has soon as possible with 0w20
@@WhereMyCountryLies you know other countries have different viscosities recommended for the same engines? This is due to CAFE regulations, do some more research.
Any modern synthetic oil will go longer than 5000-6000 miles. I just follow the vehicle manufacture guidelines and never had an issue. Oil today is much better than even 30 years ago
@@chaddarnold1 the oil may last longer but contamination in the engine is still a problem. Especially now with single/double turbo engines and tighter tolerances.
@@SamslamminCars Yeah that is true. I am glad I just have a regular 4 cylinder non turbo . Much easier to deal with and less to go wrong.
That solenoid gasket will leak and the oil will wick and stick all along the underside of the valve covers, making it seem as though the valve cover gaskets are leaking And IF you Do pull the valve covers off, you might as well adust the valves while the covers are off. Valves are supposed to be checked after 100K-ish anyway.
@@daveclark8337 I helped do as much work as my friend was willing to pay. I did the work for cheap and honestly it was not worth my time; practically a favor. Very few people are willing to go above & beyond for maintenance as you mentioned. You are correct 💯
So true! I change my Tacoma oil every 3 to 4 thousand and it runs supreme
I use a mini C clamp on my Ram 1500. It is to small to practically use on anything else so it works out.
I have a 22 Escape, and both of my front power window regulators have already been replaced under warranty. They never got stuck, but were really loud while going down as a result of forgetting to lubricate them when my Vehicle was originally built. The Dealership constantly relubricating them stopped helping after a while, as the damage was already done.
def for usa mpg ratings. subaru japan still uses 5w30 in their engines. i used 5w30 full synthetic in my 18 legacy 2.5L.
I don’t know why customers buy aftermarket parts when you don’t end up saving any money. Like them timing tensioners you made a video of.
Super tech oil filters are made by WIX
DONT SELL IT YOU WILL REGRET IT. Unless you have something better, lol
Define better? I would regret this one & fortunately no one wants to spend money on an old Accord, so it probably will not be going anywhere.
I don’t know 1 mechanic that wouldn’t replace them.
Glad there are some still out there, I do not come across many. Recently I did a timing belt where the hydraulic tensioner was reused, failed 30k/5 years later.
@@SamslamminCars my mechanics are 2 old Portuguese guys. Unfortunately they look like they’ve got about 5 years left before they retire. The only mechanics I’ve ever gone to. Some work I don’t have time to do, you know how it is. Too busy working sometimes to fix my cars. I do have 8 of them after all.
@@Hellcat71782 a good problem to have. I appreciate the new day, different whip mindset & know it well.. enjoy it!!!
@@SamslamminCars you know a lot about Toyotas. I’m thinking maybe buying a 2002 4Runner SR5 212,000 miles. Needs maintenance like valve cover gaskets, tires the rear wheel is covered in grease so obviously somethings going on. Im gonna try for $2,000-2500. Red 4 wheel drive. A little rust not too bad considering. Rebuild trans, new gas tank. Interior is good just dirty. Red in color
@@Hellcat71782 either the 2.7 or the 3.4 is a gem, even the autos are bulletproof!
Yeah, I agree.
I’m from Richmond VA, I knew this looked familiar…small world. Those Toyotas are amazing!!! I want one.
Drove right by ya on the way back in it. What year or any in particular? The only Toyota I have owned was a 04 Tacoma Pre-Runner, that little Tonka truck handled well.
Dang 70k! What state are you located out of curiosity? Only thing I’m not feeling is the rain guards. Obviously the broken one, but the fact that they are not in channel is kind of wonky.
They were cheap and I actually like the slim design of these rain guards. I broke the one while pushing the car and trying to grab the E-Brake one day. Virginia is where we reside
@@SamslamminCars you could have at least gotten some with silver chrome on them to match the chrome trim. But hey, to each their own. Nonetheless, I have the same car, except silver. And a lot more miles. Still a beast though.
I’m actually watching your video again. Curious about why you changed the sway bar? And “if” you decided to sell it. What would be your asking price? I’m genuinely curious.
@@MrRedHotChiliMan how many miles does yours have? Ever inspect the lifters or anything? No one wants to spend a premium on an old Accord so probably not happening.. plus my two other vehicles are a 79 & 89.
@@MrRedHotChiliMan the original rear sway bar is a 13mm twig. I went to a smaller but still much more rigid 17mm. Most use the Acura TL' s I believe.
Gen2 Avalon, right? We've had a lot more maintenance on our 03 because it sat, undriven, for two years while an estate was cleared. Quote from my mechanic, who hates working on old cars in the Northeast: "This car is amazing." Quote from my son: "This thing is FAST." Took me two years, but I finally have learned to insist on Toyota OEM replacements for anything that has reached the end after 23 years. Only 101k miles, so just barely broken in.
I had to look it up since I thought it was a 1st gen but you're correct. A sitting vehicle is as bad as an abused one: unless stored out of the elements and prepared properly. Aftermarket parts are a crapshoot anymore & you are also best off doing just that, using OEM when possible. Yours is just getting broken in!!!!
Your doing 50 not 55. 😂
Oversized tires & not calibrated
Get out of the center lane!
4 lanes, 3rd over & on/off ramps all with people who do not know how to merge; safest spot..
Purpose of video? Waste of video...
Purpose of comment, waste of a comment.
I had 78 cj5 with a 360 motor, I rolled 75-80 every time I drove it, you just gotta trust bro, all that wheel wobble runs out around 70 lol.
This 258 4.2 3-speed can do 75 easily but my transfer case cannot anymore haha Once I finish my CRX this will get a couple big fixes.
At that slow speed you should be all the way to the right, be more considerate to the flow of traffic....
4 lanes, lots of on/off ramps there, letting traffic in since I cannot get out of anyone's way is safer.
@@SamslamminCars the safest way if that's your top speed is stay the F off the big roads period ...
@@user-bz7zh2uo7e Disagree, the main Blvd running alongside the highway here is littered with lights. Manual brakes & people pulling out at every street light is much more dangerous. Our highways are only 55mph , with 4 lanes being the safest place; just like for motorcycles.
@@SamslamminCars very good drive safe
@@user-bz7zh2uo7e thank you Sir' I drove it 700 miles from Alabama to the VB through the Mountain ranges. It was challenging but the Truckers were very cordial; trying to keep it safe but relive its youth.
My first jeep was a CJ7 Renegade. I've owned 7 jeeps since. This is beautiful and brings back memories! Be safe brother.
Do you still have 1 and which ones/gens were your favorite? I had a TJ for 7 years; 1 day of driving this was more memorable than that 7 years.
Sorry for your bad luck owning all those heeps I mean jeeps
@@brendangibbons6094 🤣😆 They're not for everyone
@@SamslamminCars I have. TJ on 40s with G2 heavy duty axles ( almost 10 grand lol) but it's built for hard use. I can't fit it in the garage...or airport parking 😂. Impractical as hell. And I love it! I'm thinking about selling though. My friend wants it and I'd love to start a new project based on a JK. I've been out of the country for 2 years and just have zero time.
@@SamslamminCars I can believe it. Like you said. Not for everyone but neither is a Humvee 😂. My son is an incredible mechanic and wants to do a V8 swap on one for me. I loved all my Jeeps but the current TJ is the favorite.
Vr1. Its expensive, but it works.
Once winter hits & I need a lower viscosity, will be using this after posting in my CJ5 group. They offer a 10w-30
why would you ever use super tech? one of the worst brands you might as well just not change the oil
Lol it's made by Warren oil company. Lubrigold, saxxon.. same company. Just cause it's marketed jeep doesn't make it cheap. It still meets and exceeds oem standards for modern cars.
@@BriMcMenamin you beat me to it..
I have been using this oil on countless amounts of engines without any abnormal breakdown or oil consumption. It is comparable to Mobil 1 in the States
I just got mine changed a little while ago....had a misfire and a blinking check engine light...thank you for sharing 😊
Glad you figured it out!! You own one of the best vehicles out the roads, even if older.
Must be CA. They have alot of Havoline on the shelf.
Alabama, I never see it here on the East Coast.
Even GM states to just remove the cap from the reservoir and press the pads back in. No need to loosen the bleeder.
Agree but was replacing the fluid too. I have seen master cylinders collapse otherwise but it is rare. When pistons are fully extended I do not risk it, unless the bleeder bolt looks seized.
@@SamslamminCars I generally only do the bleed fitting when changing fluid as well.. or getting ready for a track day.
I just did a job for my son-in-law on his g37x. The dealership wanted $4k to replace valve cover gaskets, coil packs, and spark plugs. It to me 1/2 a day and $400 in parts. Easy money
That is awesome!! You're a great father-in-law who I'm sure is appreciated for that.
I didnt get it you basically only explain with words instead of filming
It is a poor film but i'm just showing the locations of bolts since they are hidden & difficult to find; without previously taking it apart.
@@SamslamminCars the point would it be, to show how to remove it when it was on the vehicle not when is already off of it. But thanks 👍🏼
@@nmp244 all of the locations of bolts are shown, good luck
Wow it's still has a frame
🤣 in Virginia but Carvana brought it & most definitely a Northern whip. The frame is already cooking up some nice soft rotted metal as we speak, clean otherwise.
Havoline with a Wix
If you were to change your oil at 10000 , 15000 , 20000 or 25000 . Would it make sense to change your oil filter at least , every 5000 miles .
Not all filters are equal & lower grade paper cellulose filters should never be used over 3-5k miles. If you have a filter rated for 10k, 20k then maybe.. I personally always change the filter with the oil. I have heard of others' skipping filters or oil per intervals, see no point in this and the minimal savings at best.
@@SamslamminCars Or to use Amsoil filters and they have a bypass system ? Where I believe you use two filters at once .
I bet if you wanted to clean it out even better then right after your oil change run it for several minutes then drain it again and put fresh oil back into it. Of course that costs more money.
This engine was not very dirty but for neglected engines. I recommend using seafoam with cheap oil or using some transmission fluid if n/a. Get it to running temperature for a while then change it out.
This guy just said a lot of words and contradictory statements and yet still said nothing at all. 😂
Thanks for the input
I use Castrol GTX or Edge depending on which truck I am working on. I always use Wix filters.
I find it easier just to buy a new vehicle every 30K and let some one else worry about changing oil.
Interestingly, Pine Hollow Auto Diagnostics has a 2-part video on a flashing dash panel on a 2004 Avalon, with part 2 just posted today... May or may not be the same issue, but it sure is similar.
I ended up removing the negative terminal and resetting the ECU. It has been fine since, very strange.
I hope my 2.0 liter motor don't sound like that.
How did the trip go in the avvy?
The trip went well and finally uploading some more info on the issues it had plus resolutions. Thanks for asking!!
