Well I can say that after 4,000-4,500 I feel the car getting sluggish! Depending on use is correct! I run the car hard but still I feel much better changing at 4,500 and ITS BLACK THEN!!!! I have done a lot of driving and a lot of oil changes in this car. Approximatly 9 times! Anywhere from just shy of 4,000 to almost 5,000 and let me tell you its just nasty at that point.

I will not try to argue with the expert but I can tell you my experience and literally feelings in how the car reacts. Aka: It likes new oil. Its only 20 bucks for oil and 5 for a filter and a washer. Wahoo!

 

Pinky - maybe there is something the matter with your engine... making the oil all black like that...

 

Maybe........or maybe you don't VTEC enough!

 

FOFLOL!!!!

Or.... Maybe you don't brake hard enough!!!!

 

Jim,
Just let me know when you want to take your car into Bernardi's to have them resolve the shakes and I will give you a ride home....I think you need about a month's notice to them for the appointment. As far as checking the plugs for proper torque, let me know in advance when you want to do this so that I can borrow my brothers 3/8" ratchet extension. As far as doing the valve adjustments, we are probably better off using Tom's garage for this, since it is kind of a messy job....we can see how it turns out on Glenn's car

[B]Jim,

 

1.5 hours of continuous VTEC at track events and about 5-8 minutes of continuous VTEC a day at the autocrosses. Or an indeterminant amount of VTEC around the cloverleaves...

 

I can bring up a can of oil if we can get it tested to see how bad it is!
Or we can take a look at it to see how dirty it is after almost 5K miles. Better filter? I got the regular Honda one..........dunno how many holes in it though. I will have to look when I get home.

Yes S2Ktaxi I'm sure you do your share of VTECing I was just playing with ya.

 

Pinky - done a dyno on your car lately?

 

He did one when I did earlier this year. It was on 7/28/01.... and yes I cheated on figuring out the date... I have my Dyno sheet here at work.... Framed and Laminated....





YES.... I was joking about the last two items
