Our Honda Odyssey was idling luck a diesel truck after 100K miles. Dealer recommended valve readjustment for $500. I have applied Sea Foam exacly like I have done with my FR-S and it was running like new again. I don't think I will let them do valve adjustment, it is not needed. Just another Sea Foam story

with all vehicles moving towards hydraulically-adjusted valve lash, it's important to keep the oil clean. dirty oil gums up the adjusters, and leads to 'valve adjustment' requirements..

had at 2 cars so far that had similar symptoms. but those i corrected with more frequent oil changes.

So, then you will take it to a car wash and have the girls do a 3 bucket wash to get the dirty river water off of it?



DAMN! That reminds me - I forgot to take ma meds this morning -

But the engine is running so much better, I am falling in love with this car all over again.
Might try this. I have 73k on the obo but the car drives really good atm

This week I've washed, clayed, and waxed the car, replaced the trunk, reverse, and dome lights with LED bulbs.

The LEDs in the dome light are so bright that they hurt to look at now hahaha.

Also got some Nokya 7000K halogen bulbs coming to replaced the DRL/High Beam bulbs. (I really doubt halogens can hit 7000K .. but we'll see)

Changed my battery today.
Forgot about the cigarette lighter trick so I had to reset the clock, radio presets, rev limit and light and the gear indicator. Why is the default for the gear indicator "off" anyway? Why would anyone not want to know what gear they're in?
After I reset everything I still had the tire low pressure light on. I figured "maybe I have to drive a while and it will go off." Nope.
Maybe I have to turn the car off and restart it. Nope.
Maybe a tire is low. Yep
All 4 tires were low. How did changing the battery decrease the pressure in all the tires?

It didn't.
It was a complete coincidence that the light came on after changing the battery.
What happened is.....
It's been about 95 degrees everyday for as long as I can remember. Today it's 70 degrees.
I'll bet in a couple days when it's 95 again my tire pressures will be over 35 PSI.
