fuel system flush have any of you guys done a fuel system flush of any kind? if so, how hard was it and how did you do it? what did you use? price? also, have any of you changed the manual transmission fluid? and again... how hard? how did you do it? what did you use? price? i got my oil changed in a shop yesterday and they tried to convince me to do a fuel system flush which was about $100, and the manual transmission fluid flush and change which was another $120. id rather not spend 200-250 just on that if im able to do it myself. any info is appreciated. |
Re: fuel system flush You can change your transmission fluid. Heres a link: https://www.civicforums.com/forums/7...ssion-oil.html Why do you need to do a fuel system flush?? |
Re: fuel system flush no idea. my car is at 120k km (about 75k miles) and the guy said that its highly recommended around that time. then again, they always 'recommend' everything. just thought id look into it. |
Re: fuel system flush O alright thats what I thought. Im sure someone else will know whether you need to or not. I wouldnt be worried about it thought. I had "severe carbon build up" in my car at 34xxx miles...Honda can go f *ck (can we use vulgar language here?) themselves. They wanted 200+ to do a pressure treatment. Dont think so...Im guessing its the same idea as that. |
Re: fuel system flush www.lubecontrol.com best continuous oil and fuel flush there is. |
Re: fuel system flush hey gb, you use both products? the one for oil and the one for fuel? so you add this into your gas tank every single time you fill your gas up? about 1.5 oz for 15ish gallons? what about the oil one? do you add 3oz or so per oil change? |
Re: fuel system flush yeah ive been using both for about 4 yrs now. the lc20 is for oil. you add a first dose when you change the oil, so if your car holds 3.7 qts of oil, you add 3.7 oz of lc20 to it. be sure not to overfill, add the lc20 before pouring the oil. then every 1000 miles, you add another 1 oz of lc20 until you change the oil and start over. the oil will easily last 10k miles using this product. but the filter prolly will be clogged by then so i usually only wait 6-7 months or 6k miles. for gas, use fp-plus. 1 oz per 10 gallons of gas every fillup. great stuff. get the 1 gallon jugs cause they are the cheapest and will last at least a year or more. get the measuring bottles too its very handy to have one for each additive. |
Re: fuel system flush thanks for the link.. http://******************/images/e98...c9f0b6b6f1.gif |
Re: fuel system flush I had my fuel flushed at Walmart for $20. I get this done every 5th oil change. I change my oil every 45 days coz I commute so much. This is such a great commuter vehicle. |
Re: fuel system flush walmart ????? walmart does auto work that's funny. |
Re: fuel system flush yeah they prolly pour in a $2 bottle of stp fuel cleaner lol. walmart shouldnt be anywhere near cars. |
Re: fuel system flush ahh i don't know it would all depend on the people working on the car not necessarily the location . but i still wouldn't bring my car there lol. |
