35.6 MPG. Shows a responsible driver in ECO mode. I got as high as 39.5 in mixed driving.. I bet ppl were mad I was doing 68 mph. Yes, in the right or middle lane when passing. Great video as you took the time to show WHERE the plug was so I know which side to Jack up.
Doing Whatever when you do the transmission fluid change, later when your car gets old spark plugs too. Mostly all the maintenance you do on your car. That way people with the same car will learn
Really good video, thanks, no shaky cam, good solid cuts and great clarity on what you are doing Quesiton, does your 1.5T have a lot of gas dilution issues?
Thanks! I guess I don't really know for sure what the best brand oil is, I've always used Mobile 1 so that's what I stick with. Haven't had any issues with it. Thanks for watching!
What happens if you reset all items tho? And how much do you save by doing oil change by yourself bro? Coz I have the save car too and every time I'm spending $75-$85 in Valvoline oil change place.
If you reset all the items, it will assume you've "completed" all those items. So if the code was "A13" (A=oil change, 1=tire rotation, 3=transmission fluid change) and you reset all items, it will assume you've done those three things. I watch for Mobile 1 oil to go on sale at Costco and pick up a filter, totaling around $35-40. So depending where you go for an oil change, you may be able to save some money by doing it yourself. Thanks for watching!
Have you taken your car on a road trip and if so what MPG did you average? I’m looking into buying a Accord Sport 1.5 like yours or a Camry SE 2.5. Thanks for your tutorial and God bless!!
I'm not sure why my reply didn't post a few days ago... But it basically said what Omari stated lol. I really enjoy my driving my Accord and the MPG I'm getting from it. Thanks for watching and God bless!
I buy crush rings at my local auto zone - www.autozone.com/external-engine/oil-drain-plug-gasket As for the maintenance codes, I've learned a bit since posting this video. A is for an oil change, 1 is rotate tires, and 3 is replace transmission fluid - so if you've done those things then you should be able to reset the code. Thanks for watching!
Check out 7:18 in the video. For oil and filter change, the manual says 3.7 US quarts. But be sure to double check your owners manual. Thanks for watching!
My transmission oil hasn't come due for changing yet, but I will definitely think about making a video for it when that time comes. Thanks for watching!
I pick them up at my local auto zone store but here is a link to 3 different crush rings they say should fit the 2018 Accord. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching! www.autozone.com/external-engine/engine-oil-drain-plug-gasket
At the time, money was the reason. I think the 2.0 was about $3-4K more. That’s my biggest regret, though, with this accord - not going with the 2.0. Still really enjoy this car though!
Hey everyone! I have this oil change video and a video on changing the engine and cabin air filters for this 2018 Accord - czcams.com/video/RyOiamZEs6s/video.html What other videos about this Honda would you like to see?? Leave a comment and let me know! 😃
I have a 2019 accord, and mostly drive short trips, so the oil needs to be changed pretty frequently. However, our local dealer will do a synthetic oil change for $45 with an inspection. Is it worth doing it ourselves? Mobil 1 Oil from Costco is almost always on sale, 6 quarts for $28 or Walmart has 5 QT for $22. I can get a genuine filter for about $7 or less, with total cost around $30 for DIY. Is it worth the $15 savings?`
This is definitely a good question and something I've thought about many times! I guess at that point it comes down to each person's particular situation. For me, the main reason I still change my own oil is because then it's one less thing I have to schedule and depend on someone else's schedule for (the dealer, local mechanic, etc.). Basically, when it's time to change the oil, I can do it that day, and if I can save a few bucks at the same time, that's just an extra bonus. For others though, they may say the extra $15 for someone else to do it is totally worth it, and I can see that side of the scenario as well. Another way I look at it is I can save that extra $15/oil change and put that aside for when the brakes need to be changed, and pay a mechanic to do that since I'm not 100% comfortable changing brakes yet. Either way, it's definitely something I've thought about many times over lol. Which way are you leaning? Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!
@@DoingWhatever thanks for replying! We have had if changed twice at the dealer but I was thinking of changing it again my self when it needs it. Our oil is only lasting about 5000 miles, and I read that Honda dynamically recommends maintenance based on driving patterns. I probably will try it at some point
I gotcha, yea I try to change mine about every 5,000 miles or so - in town driving during the week and highway on the weekends. Yea, give it a try sometime, it's pretty straight forward and easy!
Wait a minute dude. I heard some bad things about those 1.5 engines. They are subject to oil dilution problems. Check out CZcams video by Scotty Kilmer titled “ the end of Honda reliability “
I have 40K miles on my 1.5T Accord Sport and don't have an oil issue and I build Hondas for a living. its just a minor design flaw that Honda has now fixed in the current models. As far a reliability, I know a lady with a 2007 Civic with 400K miles with original engine and transmission. Also I know a guy with a 2013 Accord Sport with 183K miles and also have original engine and CVT transmission. Hope this helps.
@@JTreetop Yeah i think Honda already fixed the issue. But changing oil every 4-5k miles will help and warm up your car especially if you live in extremely cold region before take off will help with dilution.

Me too. I always use cruise control no more than 70mph and get 38.3 mpg on most trips.
Helpful better then any other video
Great, I’m glad to hear that!

Item A and Item B stands for different types of maintenance. Please refer to the maintenance minder to find out what eat letter and number mean.

Everytime you do maintenance on Honda Accord 1.5 you should upload videos on CZcams

Yeah bro let's do it. I'll pay for you to come and teach me how to do it
Really good video, thanks, no shaky cam, good solid cuts and great clarity on what you are doing
Quesiton, does your 1.5T have a lot of gas dilution issues?
Thanks, I really appreciate it!
I haven’t had the gas dilution problem on my accord, fingers crossed!
Good video, very thorough.

Can y do one tramission drain and fill for your 1.5 accord? Thanks
I have never done a transmission drain but I will consider it for a future video. Thanks for watching!
Awesome man, thanks!!
No problem, glad it was helpful!
This was great! Thank u!
Great! Thanks for watching!
Where do you get the crush ring from?
Nice video
thank you
what is the best brand of car engine oil you recommend for this accord generation (0W-20) ?
Thanks!
I guess I don't really know for sure what the best brand oil is, I've always used Mobile 1 so that's what I stick with. Haven't had any issues with it.
Thanks for watching!
Nice video .. thank u
Thanks!
Very good... Thank you.
Thanks!
please do a diy for transmission fluid change. thanks
I will keep that in mind, thanks for the suggestion!
Great video 👍.
Thanks!
Always use the proper torque setting for the oil drain plug on aluminum oil pans.
Yea, I should probably just suck it up and buy a torque wrench...
31 ft pounds
marty hog thanks! I bought a torque wrench and will make sure it’s torqued correctly this next time 😁
What to do when maint. Req'd light turns on
See what code it tells you and then use your owner’s manual to see what the code means
What happens if you reset all items tho? And how much do you save by doing oil change by yourself bro? Coz I have the save car too and every time I'm spending $75-$85 in Valvoline oil change place.

I took mine on a road trip and got 35-37mpg. The accord has a larger interior and is just a better buy than the camry
5:53 do you have to replace the pressuring ring on drain plug
Probably not every time but I do. I would see what the owners manual suggests too.
Should have probably filled the oil filter with oil before replacing
Never done that before but I will keep it in mind for next time, thanks!
@@DoingWhatever prevents hard starts
Eli A 👍🏻 makes sense
What size is the crush ring? Also, mines due for A13, when resetting do I reset A13?

how do you change the transmission fluid?
I haven’t done that yet, but if I do I’ll be sure to make a video!
how many quarts did u put in?
Check out 7:18 in the video. For oil and filter change, the manual says 3.7 US quarts. But be sure to double check your owners manual. Thanks for watching!
What about changing the transmission oil?
My transmission oil hasn't come due for changing yet, but I will definitely think about making a video for it when that time comes. Thanks for watching!
At how many miles should you do a transmission fluid flush
How do you have 35.6MPG??? I get like 24MPG
Lol idk 🤷♂️ I don’t drive all that sparingly. I’m surprised you can get as low as 24mpg with this vehicle 😅
Within how many miles do you change your oil?
I change the oil and oil filter every 4,500 - 5,000 miles. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!
@@DoingWhatever Thank you
What oil filter wrench do you use?
Link in the description 😉
Yo what’s the size of the crush ring for the oil plug? Thanks in advance.

why not the 2.0T?
At the time, money was the reason. I think the 2.0 was about $3-4K more. That’s my biggest regret, though, with this accord - not going with the 2.0. Still really enjoy this car though!
I hate to ask, but have you had any issues with oil dilution?
I have not so far... Knock on wood!
@@DoingWhatever If you haven't had a problem with that many miles, you're probably in good shape. Don't quote me on that though. Lol
@@ryanlittleton5615
I think Honda already fixed the issue. Remember warm up your engine before take off.
@@louyht7 Warming up your engine before leaving would actually make it worse.
@@ryanlittleton5615 i just bought a 2020 honda accord 1.5 can u tell me why warming it up can make it worse
What wrench and size is that????
For the oil drain pan, it's a 17mm wrench. I used a Craftsman ratchet and socket. Thanks for watching!
👍
👍
What happens if I add all the container
All the oil?
@@DoingWhatever yes, I accidentally added everything I missed the part you said 3.7 quarts, I can drain it all again and re add it right?
@@DoingWhatever I drained it again and refilled it with the right amount
Yup, if you overfill just drain it and refill with the proper amount 😃

Transmission fluid change for a 2.0 10 speed accord
Do change before 10k
I’m just over 40k now 😁
Next time when you are changing your oil you pulled the oil cap An pull the dipstick up so the oil could ran out faster ok nice video though
Good idea, thanks for the tip!
