It is correct that you only need to use the Integra mirror mount. As far as swapping the broken mirror glass goes, after looking at the glass and circuit board from my Integra mirror, it appears you can swap the circuit board and buttons assembly from the broken MDX/Accord mirror glass onto the...

The more I examine the blue particles the more they seem to be blue plastic. I have been thinking about plastic internal engine parts Honda would use and the most likely to shred plastic parts in there would be timing chain guides or the face of the timing chain tensioner shoe. I have tried to...

Yes, that exactly describes the oil filter cutting tool I use. It cleanly cuts the base of the filter off the can without producing any metal shards or paint flecks that might contaminate the filter media.

Your experience with the included oil service is exactly what I was afraid would happen if I had just followed the oil life monitor and their maintenance schedule. I'm still an old school guy and believe there is no such thing as a new car from a volume manufacturer that has an engine in it that...

Yes, that's my plan and really about all I can do with it. The car has a powertrain warranty so the engine is covered and I'm sure Acura could care less until it blows up so I will just keep monitoring it. My main question is whether anyone else has seen this blue colored debris with their new...

It's common practice with aircraft engines whenever changing the oil. If gross amounts of metal are found in the filter the A&P mechanic will start checking various parts of the engine for abnormal wear and failure so as not to put the aircraft back into service and have the engine fail in...

I have been driving the car far enough each time to make sure the oil gets good and hot so I don't think it's short trips causing excess fuel contamination and yes, I agree that black oil is to be expected along with some aluminum bits during break in. Those findings aren't bothering me but all...

I did the first oil change on my '24 A-Spec and found this when I cut open the oil filter and examined the filter media. I have never seen anything like this in any filter I have cut open in the past much less one from a new car with only 1,000 miles on it. Have any of you seen all this debris...

That sure looks like rail dust from shipping the car on a train. My friend's new white Accord had those spots all over it too and it turned out to be rail dust. We used Mequiar's Ultimate wheel cleaner that dissolves brake dust and it removed the rust stains without damaging the paint. You spray...

I pried the spring off the cup one coil at a time using a flat bladed screwdriver and working around the cup where the spring seats. It's a very stout spring so I doubt you will distort or bend it. You certainly could just cut off the harness as close as possible to the female receptacle on the...

Thanks for posting this and it helped me when doing this mod on my car. I agree that taking a couple mirrors apart and swapping parts is better than having to take the car apart to add a wiring harness. I did do a couple things differently though. The first was the removal of the trim from...
