Rep Power: 0

01 Civic EX Coupe 165k Miles

Plan of attack:

Sloppy Shifting

• Aluminum Shifter Base Bushings + Aluminum Cable Shifter Bushings
• MTF Flush + AutoRX (Should I use Redline, Amoil, or Honda Stuff?)

Rough Idle
Might wait to tackle this after the other 2 are taken care of, maybe it will fix itself

Oil Burning

• Change PCV Valve
• 5W20 High Mileage Oil Change + Mobile 1 Extended Filter
• (Should I put some AutoRX in here as well?)

I live in New England so keep that in mind. It gets cold, and I don't want to keep changing different types of fluids.

Get in there, take it apart if necessary, see what's really wrong first. Then decide what really needs fixed.





I'd drain and fill with Genuine Honda MTF. It's only about 2 quarts.


K.

With that mileage, I'd expect stuck oil rings.
Got blue smoke?
Do the plugs show oil or white caked buildup?

I'd run 0W20 oil and hope it can clean out the stuck rings before the car wears out.
