Switch to Synthetic Oil? by
Phil Budgell
Hi, I just bought a 99 Accord w/100000 kms on the clock. She has used Honda
bulk oil for her whole life, just wondering if it's safe to make a switch to
Synthetic or do I need to worry about leaks? Also if it is okay which brand
is the best bet, has to be readily available as here in Newfoundland...

OE Steelies Weigh? The answer is ... by
Charles Lasitter
After quite a bit of searching, I found this site:
http://www.wheelweights.net/
Which has mostly only alloy wheel weights, but just enough info on
steel wheels to approximate the weight of 15x6.5 wheels at 22 pounds.

Cigarette lighter glow ring by
R. P.
I only use my '94 Accord's cigarette lighter for powering the Belkin
FM/MP3 adapter and the glowing ring around the lighter's hole comes
handy at night. However, it does not always glow when the other
instrument lights do. I could not figure out exactly the pattern of its
working, but I suspect...

2004 CR-V replacement tires by
Old_dejanews46
2004 CR-V EX
P205/70R15 95S
When replacing tires, how important, other than replacing all 4 at once
on the CR-V, does the model of a manufacturers tire matter?
For instance, when you go to tire selection for Michelin or BF Goodrich
and select tires by vehicle year, model, the results may show...

Can you repair/patch a high performance tire? by
Rob B
I have v-rated Bridgestone Potenzas on my Prelude. One of them has a
slow to medium leak. My common-sense says that a patched tire will
not have the same characteristics as an un-patched one. (ie it won't
be as safe to drive around like a high-speed maniac).
New tire x 2 = expensive
1 patched...

Maintenance budget by

Hi everyone,
I just purchased a '90 Honda Civic Wagon and am wondering what everyone
would think is a reasonable expectation for an annual maintenance cost
(on top of oil changes)? What should this include? I was thinking in

Bad Honda Paint by
