having the oil pump be chain driven is a performance feature that causes the oil problems, it has cold problems so you beat on it cuz it’ll still go for 200k miles at least but in return oil problems, however if you deal with those problems like with the K24W1, you get possibly the best vtec Engine on the market with their design, I have a feeling the oil pump helps the engine reach higher rpm’s way quicker than other K-series.

[@repairvehicle]

Mileage on car? Mileage on oil pumps? How many miles did put on the pump before it replaced? Brand new pump from the dealer?

I have a 2010 honda crv I change the oil on it every 5500 miles with amsoil OE and it burns about half a quart between oil changes the engine has about 215k on it. wen do you recommend changing the oil on my car ? I drive 10k miles every month mostly high way

[@repairvehicle]

You had it since brand new?

[@ElCongoDeJuanelo91]

@@repairvehicle no I had since it had 116k

[@repairvehicle]

My recommendation is to keep changing oil at 5500 miles with OE.

[@connor3288]

What do you do that makes you drive 120k a year? Thats a ton

[@dennisthemenace8854]

I recommend selling it immediately

My 1.8 l R 18 has 239k it purrs the block in this car will crack you... I changed my oil every 5k since 185 k when I bought it t...

[@repairvehicle]

no oil consumption?

[@kevinwhiting8391]

@@repairvehicle Honda says 1500 miles on older vehicles consuming about a quart of oil in that span is normal all older engines will use a little bit of oil that's just how it goes man I like Lucas products the upper cylinder lubricant is wonderful fuel injector cleaner and they're high mileage oil additive reduces the time between oil changes by up to 50%, it's ability to stick to metal is also great preventative maintenance for new vehicles

[@repairvehicle]

Lucas doesn’t work and 5k miles intervals is the cause for oil consumption, engine worn out

[@georgebrandt541]

Great vid . Synthetic only .

[@flashsushi1843]

Almost 100k miles on our '11 Accord 2.4L and oil changes per maintenance minder or about 8,500-10,000 miles every oil change. No noticeable oil consumption between oil changes. Was dealership serviced first seven years but been using Mobil 1 high mileage synthetic oil since I started doing my own oil changes. Been using the car more often now that my household is down to two cars and have to drive to the office more times so will probably change oil more often now. Oil and filter supply will likely last through to the end of the decade lol!

all timing chain jump nothing new

Not true

The 2.4 engine garbage non-stop problems always something wrong 130 thousand I gave up engine clacking chain slapping water pump tenshioner ac compressor power steering pump vtc gear vtec seloniod oil burning piston slap transmission shudder brakes always rusted up steering problems just complete garbage overated junk never again

[@BELHORIZON31]

No this engine is reliable

[@repairvehicle]

If this engine is reliable then why people have problems with timing chain jumping?

[@truth4reel]

Because if lack of maintenance mainly

[@kevinwhiting8391]

Honda makes the best smaller four-cylinder engines in the world is not even close. The bigger the engine the more the power and more of the power the more of the problems the reason why are 18 and so freaking reliable is because it's a very simple single overhead cam inline 4-cylinder there's not much to it and it's got lots of over-engineering a high-strength aluminum forged engine components it's got cracked forged connecting rods it's got the Pistons are coated in some special coating to reduce friction even more I mean when you add all that up with Hondas proven reliability if you run this car and maintain it it will show The Love to you back try buying a car for 185,000 mi and run it for two-and-a-half years without having any issues but add replace the starter because after that many miles that's a lot of starts

[@kevinwhiting8391]

The K20 z3 is best Honda engine maybe the s 20000 with its astronomical 240 horsepower...but preludes are so sweet but I dig the fg2 I mean this is a generation of Honda Civic that beat the Dodge vipers to the slalom test and was biting at the heels of a Chevrolet Corvette ZO6 do you know how much those f****** cars cost

[@nunyabidness-qr5vp]

Well what would you want him to do it design it to run with a cam gear and have twice as much friction and twice as much heat comma you're restricting the Rev range if you use gears as well and the oil pump issue can be solved simply with a dry Sump System that's one simple problem with a great engine I think you're complaining because your country has nothing good to produce itself

[@repairvehicle]

Motorcycles have gears and don’t have rev range restrictions and same thing with formula one cars. Looks like you need to do research before posting nonsense

[@eddieolvera967]

This guy doesn't know anything

[@repairvehicle]

If you knew anything you would have provided alternative information to back your claim

[@jamescostello7584]

It will give me your car for a week and I'll tell you if anything wrong with your car if there is I'll show it to you after I come back with it burning oil I'll let you see it right in your face

[@yayoudo1]

Oil consumption is the biggest issue with these engines. I have to regularly add oil every couple hundred miles. this engine looks like it was running with low oil and the oil overheated / baked on the engine.

[@repairvehicle]

Due to 10k miles oil change intervals these engines damaged severely and that why oil consumption is there
