Does the 21/22 1.5t accord have oil dilution issues I know the 18/20 had oil dilution issues

Doors has to be locked

Try not to say Uh and um so much. Thanks for the video

Hi brad! How did you removed the knee plastic cover?

Hi Brad. You mentioned several times that you will see air bubbles due to air coming in through the bleeder nipple. My question is how do you know that is where the air is coming through versese there being air in the system? Thanks!

Honda used to make great cars. I was looking to buy a 10th gen hatchback but after intense research I decided not to because of this oil dilution issue. Do you know if they fixed this issue on the 11th gen hatchbacks? I still need to do research on those but I heard they fixed the issue with those

Pet peeves with mine… after 5 years 1) Not safe when it rains… car damn near hydroplanes when water is “pushed” underneath it. 2) Mine has a gas tank issue where when I put gas in it the pump stops like it’s full… even after they supposedly replaced it when it was under warranty. I hate going to get gas 3) Range never matches how far you can go 4) When you charge it the charge dies when you unplug it when you haven’t driven it 5) It sometimes sounds like it’s going uphill on the regular street. Don’t know how else to describe it. Then it goes back into the right gear on its own. I had 2 Honda Crosstours prior to this and absolutely LOVED them. I hope they come back!

Back again. Still no issues. I switched to castrol only. Stopped using honda filters since discovering fram makes them. I use baldwin filters, Purolator boss, and FULL, oil filters. I also recommend changing the pcv valve every 25k.

What about that it doesn’t have a spare tire, that would be my number 1

How do I just turn on the ac?

A simple tool for a simple test will show you if you need to change your fluid. 9 yrs on my Tesla and it is still good. Don't waste your money buy the tester do the test every year and change when needed.

'Promosm' 🤷

nope. My oil dilution problem not fixed on my 2020 Honda Sport 1.5t. Oil and gas is up to very top edge of orange plastic on dipstick. Maybe at least 1/4 inch to high. I drive several 5 to 10 mile long trips a day. I drive like a teenage maniac. So what they say about problem being solved by driving harder to warm up engine faster seems to be not accurate. I also live down south in Louisiana. So Global warming does not solve problem either. May try heavier weight oil as I have seen on a youtube video where guy said that worked for him on his 1.5t.

I just test drove a Clarity, it was running on gas, the high rpm of the engine was annoying while accelerating moderately. It’s been at the dealership for 3 months and wasn’t charged. I also drove a Chevy Bolt and while the ride in the Clarity was better the low noise level in the Bolt has me leaning towards it.

It has a tranny filter…..no one seems to change that

This is the video that pushes me from Prius Prime to Clarity

I bought this car in 2019 knowing that I would be going to Florida several times in the winter. The 2/3 of the trip is in the cold in early January and the return in early March. I live in Quebec City and have to drive 1800 mi to get there. In 2019, charging a real electric car every 150 miles is very time-consuming. On the way to Florida, I fill up the gas tank in 5 minutes every 220 mi. If I sleep en route, usually 2 times, I fill up the battery the night before leaving and 2 times en route during the night at the hotel. In Quebec City, 80% of the mileage is urban and I use very little gas. For the 20% on the road, it consumes as much as a Toyota Corola hybrid. The Honda Clarity is an efficient compromise. In 3 years, I'll be too old to make the trip to Florida. 80% of my mileage will be in Quebec City. In conclusion, I would have regretted buying an electric car in 2019. I much prefer my Honda Clarity. It's a very comfortable car. I have the most luxurious model and the interior is closer to an Acura than an Accord.

Can any Clarity owner comment on how comfortable the cabin heat is in sub freezing temperatures? Thanks

Hi, I am a former Chevy Volt owner. In fact I had 2 2012s but sold them. I hated the cabin heater, not only did the winter efficiency go down but I never felt warm in sub freezing temperatures. How is the Clarity?

Ur putting the miles/distance left smdh. Thats like putting how many minutes of talk time u have on ur phone. Stick to percentages.

Sure, you’re charging in your home garage. And that’s the reality for lots of current, particularly wealthier EV owners. It’s a system - the charging infrastructure and the vehicles. In the same way an IC vehicle and the fuel stations are. The IC system is highly, highly reliable, efficient to use and effective to accomplish the task. It meets the needs of all forms of users - rich, poor; homeowners, renters, commuters, people traveling, in virtually all weather, all geography and terrain, etc etc. The only drawback are the greenhouse gas emissions involved. If the EV system is to replace the IC system it needs to be all those things. It appears the EV System has lots of growing pains, gaps and drawbacks. A concerted effort needs to be made by all involved to dramatically improve the system before a very large segment of the public will consider switching from an IC vehicle. It’s not enough to say “it’s better for the planet” if it impacts my freedom of movement, my life and potentially my livelihood (if I can’t get to work, get home, etc). I hope we see massive efforts and investments to improve the whole System - and Asap.

I am problems with mine too I have 2017 crv

The dots on the power band is the car telling you there is a power limit. If the car was left outside at -30, the battery temperature is definitely going to be stone cold. Drive it a bit (or navigate to supercharger)and the drivetrain will warm up and the power limit will go away in 15 minutes. You can also preheat the cabin and battery before departing if you have a charger at home.

Hey Brad - good to see you're back! I was sooo very tempted to buy a Clarity back last year thanks to your vids, but I'm now solidly on the EV bandwagon. Thanks for showing the Tesla in the "real" cold. We got close to -50 on the outskirts of Edmonton over the weeked. I've been renting Teslas and Polestars whenever I travel for work and had a long range Model Y in Ontario for a few weeks last month. At -10C-ish it was perfectly fine. Tesla with their charging network was hands-down the winner there. CCS DCFC has been problematic when I needed it. What do they charge for supercharging here in Alberta? I supercharged the MY almost daily (I had a 200+ km drive every day) in Mississauga and it was surprisingly expensive at 68c/kWh at peak times.

Hey hey Brad nice to have you back, try the preheat fonction before you leave it also heats up your battery, kind regards Albert

Hey Brad! Good to see you're back! The coldest temperature that i've driven my Model 3 is -20C last year with no issues. It doesn't get that cold anymore here in Montreal. Was your car parked outside or in a garage?

Wow not a good sign! What other issuve you had?

Is tire removal required for brake bleed on a Honda Fit? Does Honda require tire removal for brake bleed service performed at a Honda Dealer?

😀

Is it required to remove the wheels to bleed the brakes? Does Honda require tire removal for brake bleed service at a Honda Dealer?

My 2018 honda clarity touring has power seats

How'd this end up holding together? I just broke my mirror off after dropping a paddleboard on it. I glued the pillar though..........maybe I should have glued the base as you did. IDK, it's currently drying, so if the pillar doesn't work, I can go back and re-try it this way.

Why is Honda putting 1.5 Turbo engines in the (2022-2024) Civic Touring if they're not good engines??

My friends 16 crv blew up with 90k miles. Bottom end knock😢 . After his 3rd one he listened to me and got a new rav-4

Yep, I did mine on a trash that was left out on the street by some moron.

Imagine this, the new Prius Prime pretty mush has the same performance with much smaller interior that costs 1/3 more as much right now with the dealer markups or twice as much more if you are in California. If you bought it right before the pandemic, then you got the best deal of the decade for a car!😊

Nice video As a “driving life long” Honda owner; Honda decided to join the rest of the gang by going to a tiny motor that is turbo charged and is now paying the price Even if there was no oil dilution issues I would not buy one of these motors as these motors work sooooo hard that good luck getting a long life out of them….All in the name of getting an extra mile or two or three in the MPG numbers Very sorry to see Honda having gone this route

Best car ever.

Hi there sir. Just wondering how u like your model 3 and how many miles? Are you having any issues. I still have Honda clarity and still going great at 23k miles. But I am interested to learn more about Tesla M3 since in the United States we get a federal tax rebate.

My trunk lid collects water, which pours out into the truck. Wondered if you had heard of this. Flows out of each side around the covered lid posts/arms. I can only think of replacing the rubber seal.

Did you drive it in January? My Clarity hates being really cold.

Hello friend, could you make a video changing the rear brake pads and how to do it?

I heard that there is an issue of head gasket blowing on the Honda 1.5 turbo engine.

Hi im buying a 2018 touring with 9k miles do you recommend it also anything that I need to know as today when buying the car anything I need to know I’m buying the car through CarMax and I’m getting the max care warranty 150k or 60 months a little piece of mind

What is your EV range during the winter vs summer? And does it stay in EV mode at highway speeds?

I’ll take it off ya!

That brake fluid doesn’t look that dark at all.

2 years hmmm 🤔 last Honda i had hybrid 200k miles never did brake fluid flush

Thank you for all the Clarity content! You sold me on it and have helped me maintain it.
