Try using an OEM Honda '03' oil filter (the filter code ends in 03). This should solve the noise it makes only when the engine is cold. This happens because other filters don't retain the oil properly, causing a slight delay of about a second when you start the car to lubricate the timing chain, resulting in the noise.
Reviews of spare parts for Honda
I had the belt job done on my 2015 a couple of years ago by a local shop using the Aisin kit and it was about $900.
I\u2019m buying a set of Powerstop coated rotors and Akebono pads for my accord to put on in the spring.
Used wai for my 2015 odyssey. Worked well.
I only use honda coolant. My 2003 crv has almost 300k on the original water pump.
So I’m running an 03’ with the 2.4 and I put in NGK Laser Iridium but Denso is perfectly fine. I’m surprised how much your plugs cost if your paying list price. The cost price is how much I paid for mine at the parts store. Both plugs are fine to use.
Something similar happened to my 2016 Civic EX sedan when I switched from the OEM tires, Firestone FT140, at 76,000 miles, to Goodyear Assurance MaxLife tires in October, 2022. I was averaging just under 40 MPG (calculated, NOT using the trip computer) to just under 35 MPG, also with no change in driving habits or routes.
Overall I like the new Prelude design, but the front IMO is the weakest element as this post highlights. Just not as clean as I think they could have done.
Our new 2025 CRV needed 4 new tires at only 9k miles. All 4 tires were cupped and fraying despite looking new. Felt and sounded like I was driving a helicopter.
Yep the Westlake winters on my 2019 Honda Passport have me wondering if i have winters on at all.
