First Out of warranty service! Accord CR 2013-onwards
Hi all!,
Just performed the first DIY out of warranty service on our 2013 current shape Accord VTI-L + ADAS 39,000kms. will be following a similar schedule to my Euro 06 with 246,000kms on it (so i must be doing something right, right? =P)
Oil: 5W40 Shell Ultra with the PurePlus
Filter: Honda 15400-RTA-003 Japan (I think it's made by Mahle Tennex)
Notes: our dealer must have been using 0W20 (to my disbelief) as the engine is much more quiet now, especially at the higher RPMs. Will see how much consumption actually changes as the manual says FEO 0W20 is used only for best consumption/ efficiency
Chain rattle was much more noticable with the dealer oil
That Thai oil filter from the dealer was on tight!
ATF: Penrite LV put in a bottle of Nulon Automatic transmission treatment I had from a special a while back

Already did the filter (behind the fuse and relay box of the car, near the hood hinges passenger side) with a magnefine filter and did a change at the 2yr mark because I didn't like the jerk and lag i was getting putting the car in drive from reverse in the mornings. oil was already going brown then. Slight colour change since then... put in 3L
coolant: flushed with RO water from work (we have a machine) to get the heater core stuff diluted and refilled with penrite Blue concentrate 3.2L and topped up with RO.
flushed it with Penrite radiator flush I had a bottle of... might get another one for the Euro when that's due again- has Nulon green in it
Car only gets driven 3 days a week so we barely do 9000 a year if we dont go for trips to melbourne
Curious if anyone has noticed what I noticed with the trans and engine? anything odd or cool you have noticed so far?
I thought it would be good to make this thread now as they are coming out of warranty
