> > Love to hear anyones comments if you have one? I purchased a CRV in 1997 when they first came out. I got the dealer installed leather. Now - 114,000 miles later - it runs like new - perfect in every way. I have replaced tires - brakes. It still has the original battery and exhaust. I went through a set of tires every 50,000 miles. I first replaced them with Michelins - I must say they had a rougher ride and a bit noisy to boot. This summer I bought a set of alloy wheels and turanzo tires from a new Accord - a kid replaced them right out of the showroom. These tires are very quiet. All in all - it has been a great ride for 6 years. |

Re: New Honda Crv Exec
congratulations, i bought a green 2003 lx in march and have 8,000 miles on
it. the car has enough power to pass and climb hills. i do my own oil changes and i stick w/5w-20 oil. i do notice a ticking sound when the car starts, possibly valve taping, but it goes away soon after. my windshield has a chip and that kinda bummed me out. i think honda makes thin windshields, but besides that, it is a wonderful car. no regrets.

You said you do your own oil change(s), and you're using 5w/20 oil. I thought Hawaiians would use something a little thicker, and maybe that explains why you're getting some ticking on startup?? Did you leave the 'break-in' oil in until the recommended interval?

Re: New Honda Crv Exec
i was thinking of using 5w-30 synthetic but the local hond told me to stick
with 5w-20. i did leave the break in oil for the first 5k miles. the tapping could be due to the climate here, but i plan on sticking to 20w for now. "'Curly Q.
