Honda Car Forum

Retards are infiltrating the neighborhoods and with the introduction of the
internet into group homes we should really expect one to meander, before
recognizing where they actually are, into our forum sometimes.

I really cant understand or explain his behavior. I won't post again on
this issue, but i'm glad jb's gone...

I went to one of those quickie joiints and for the service i got it was easy
to decide i wouldnt go back. I am sure there are quickie joints that are
reputable, but i am not in the mood to be searching for them. imho.

I believe that the oil filter is mounted on the back side of the
block. When it is removed about a cup of oil spills out and can
easily get on the exhaust pipe which passes under that area. Even
working slowly and carefully, it is hard to prevent this. Also, the
oil can continue to drip out of this area for quite some time.

JB,

We have two Honda's that go to the dealer for every oil change. When
you drive them out of the shop they both have a slight smell of burning
oil that lasts until the exhaust system gets hot enough to burn the oil
off. The oil filters on both cars, 2000 CRV and 1992 Accord, are almost
directly above the exhaust pipe. When you remove the filter it is very
easy to drip oil on the pipe. Even if you wipe it off there is some
residue left that needs to burn off. I'm sure you could take some kind
of cleaner to it to get it all off but I don't think it's worth it.

Also, my 1984 Accord used to to the same thing. I did most of the oil
changes on it.

So if it doesn't last very long I wouldn't worry about it. If it does
I'd talk to the shop about it.

Hope this helps.

this happens to my '97 Prelude every time I get an oil change...doesn't
matter where I take her, Jiffy, Sears, the dealer, etc...usually disappears
after a bit of driving...at first I was alarmed, but fluid levels seemed to
stay within spec...if the lube shops are overfilling and causing you to burn
oil internally, you would see a bluish smoke coming from your exhaust...
