Eric, I know you mention that different color coolants can not be mixed. So what is your opinion on a coolant like “Peak Long Life 50/50 Prediluted Antifreeze and Coolant” that claims it is for ALL makes and models?

Also, this product description mentions that “Long Life coolant technology is formulated for use in all automobiles and light-duty trucks; OEM approved for GM, Ford, Chrysler and Honda vehicles”: http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_long-life-50-50-prediluted-antifreeze-and-coolant-%281-gallon%29-peak_7020021-p?searchTerm=antifreeze#fragment-1

I have a 2009 acura tl. Doesn’t this car have Drive-By-Wire Electronic throttle control? And if so, isn’t there a motor that controls the valve of the throttle body, not a cable?

[quote=”EricTheCarGuy” post=36901][quote=”aaronac8″ post=36878]What kind of grease do you use on the o ring?[/quote]

I would not recommend using grease as grease would actually break the ‘o’ ring down. If you did use something I suppose silicone paste or dielectric grease which is made for that application. That said I don’t think you need to put anything in there at all so long as the ‘o’ ring is properly positioned, that IS it’s function after all. As I stated in another post I think the reason this one had issue was because of me when I took the engine and transmission out.[/quote]
I meant the o ring on the speed sensor, not the connector

How much brake fluid is needed to do a full flush?

Eric, so when you do a brake fluid flush on an acura / honda you DO NOT use honda/acura brake fluid only….just dot 3?

[quote=”EricTheCarGuy” post=34917]There isn’t one. The service manual states ‘only if they’re noisy’. We used to do this every 15K at the dealer but that went away years ago. For a time we only did it at 30K intervals and now just when noisy.[/quote]

However, in my owners manual for my 2009 acura TL under maintenance sub items – number 4 has “inspect valve clearance (cold)” (this is done at same time as spark plug replacement and timing belt replacement). Also, the manual states that adjusting valves during other services should only be done if they are noisy.

I have an Acura 2009 TL and my valve cover has a “hump” for the camshafts. I read that I need to use hondabond at the 2 corners where the valve cover meets the rocker shaft holder on the front of the engine; in your video the valve covers have no humps and you did not use hondabond.

Is hondabond necessary when replacing the valve covers in my car?
