Simple question. I have an OEM Accord Prelude engine cooler that I would like to install while replacing with a heat shield intake manifold gasket AND at the same time looking for the source of a bad oil leak (I think my oil sender threads are broken or cracked). Is this a good Idea and will it help with the economy of the car?

 

I thought wagons came with oil coolers from the factory?
Will it help the economy? No.
What an oil cooler will do is maintain an acceptable temperature of the oil. Honda installed these coolers on vehicles that would be used for hauling a load such as the wagon or Odyssey to prevent overheating of the engine oil.

If you plan on using your wagon for hauling loads, or hauling *** on the track then yes use an oil cooler. However it would be a better idea to install an oil temp gauge to verify how hot the oil is getting. This would be a better tool in determining if your current grade of oil has the correct protection for your needs.

 

You already have a thread on this issue, can you please just ******* stop making new threads for bullshit reasons ? I mean, really.

 

I don't know where I have the thread can you show me? This is not a bullshit reason I am asking a reasonable thought out question about the Honda oil cooler that I have never asked before. Nor have I seen any such thread posing the question.

 

This made me giggle. He has made 107 threads since he joined (10-11) I have made 156 threads since I've joined (05-05)

 

At least i'm smart enough to ask questions instead of someone who acts like they know it all. Anyways how much knowledge of cars did you have when you first came on here cause I didn't have any at all. Never worked on them before either.

Sorry if I make you feel stupid with all the questions I ask, my apologies. It makes you feel insecure, I understand.

 

good times!

 

Yeah, times pass so stfu. I'm eternal I don't operate on time.

 

People currently have the particular cautiously place within this trouble, would you you must merely ******* quit accomplishing new threads with regard to bullshit reasons? After all, actually.

 

I actually had very little knowledge, did a lot of research and pioneered a few things through trial and error. There's nothing wrong with asking questions however you could start a 'build' thread of sorts and compile all your questions in there rather than create a million threads that are a one-word response.

Amen.

 

All I know is the EX SE cb7's all came with oil coolers and I think only they were automatics.

I am going to take the intake manifold off and replace the gasket with a heat shield one. This would be the perfect time to install the OEM cooler. I don't think I will install it right now though simply because I have a bad oil leak right now and want to fix that first. Perhaps if the oil leak was gone I would but this leak it pretty bad.

Last time I went and checked last week, the leak appeared to be coming from the oil filter. I was able to tighten it a tad bit, which seemed to help the problem at first but made no changes to the oil losses I was having (1 quart every 100 miles).

Here is a picture I took of the leak, this was while the engine was running. Oil was seeping out at a pretty good rate. Originally I thought it was the oil sender, so I replaced it and used pipe sealant on it. But its just not going away, so now I figure maybe the threads are cracked or something like that. I will go and see when I remove the intake, will take more pics too.

Here is the leak:

 

lol Fram.

 

It was free i found it at the junkyard.

 

Any other person I would think you were kidding.

But since it's you I completely and totally believe you.

 

It was brand new in its box. My brother actually found it, it was in the back of a Cb7.

 

Surprised you didnt make a thread asking if the Cb7 filter works on your accord.

Someone really needs to take away the new thread "new topic" button away from you since someone like me can manage only 9 threads since 09 (7 of which are fs threads and mostly doubles for different sections of the fs section)

And yes, you do act like you know it all. A great example was you offering your "wisdom" (and I use that term very loosely) in the "vtec all the time" thread and when you called nus a lair for him offering a very appropriate answer to when you questioned his experience with the F and H motors in the accord

 

9 threads since 09', guess that only means you think you got all the answers already. That is the height of ignorance. Those who think they know it all have a lot to learn.

But I like to ask around, even if I may know something about the topic since I realize that maybe someone else knows something.

I was a complete beginner in the car world, I've said this numerous times. I've learned a lot though from coming to forums like this one, and for that am grateful for the advice I have thus been given... But I guess you guys have gotten tired of me coming here, what a shame.

Maybe all of my questions have made you realize how much you guys have left to learn still, as we all do. We need to relearn even what we think we know.

Nice joke by the way, an 8 year old could have thought that up.


Alright Mr. Honda Engineers, let's not get our panties in a bunch, we all know that you designed these motors. Let us be grateful to you all for your great abilities to create Honda motors. You created Vtec and the F and H series engines, so you HAVE to know most everything about them, right?

 

It doesn't take a honda engineer to work the search button and I never made a joke. The only joke here is you.

Also 2 can play the useless qoute game "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime"

Quit asking for handouts for answers, with a bit of fishing with the search button you can find your answers.
