I ordered a used OEM starter for about $60. Because of time restraints and school, I finally got it replaced this past Friday and it works perfect now. The starter isn't sticking to the flywheel when starting now.
I would get a Denso or AcDelco reman, no cheap crap since they're a bit of a pain to replace.
I would rather do it once and have it last for 100k+ than to do that repair 2x.
I run Valvoline simply because when I got my Civic people recommended it. Hasn't given me any troubles yet even in my Miata.
For my Ford I use motorcraft because it's oem.
For my high mileage Honda I've been experimenting with how the oil "looks" after a change. I know it's not technical but the valvoline oil seems to hold up well.
i bought stoptech slotted rotors and stoptech performance street pads for my wife's Odyssey as a way to gauge if they were great for daily use compared to just regular rotors and upgraded pads. I can say that there is a huge difference in preventing fade and stopping power just from that kit alone
I'd recommend genuine Honda coolant. Others tend to cause water pump to leak.
I use the aisin kits all the time (probably 12-15 of them).
I just had a new alternator put in 2 months ago (3k miles ago) at a different shop. Could all this be caused by a bad alternator?
Got some Hankook "100000 miles" H727 on the beater Honda. Within 3-4 years, or 50k miles later they're all shot. Tread is mostly gone. At the end I had a slow leak from cracks etc. The rubber ripped at the edges exposing the cord and leaks slowly, then rather quickly when it let go.
7th gen Civic headlights were worthless. A bunch of flashlights duct taped to the hood would be an improvement. Honda must have gotten an earful because the 8th gen Civic had excellent units.
