What are Common Engine Problems in Honda Vehicles

Those who drive a Honda LOVE them. Jason has had a few over the years and has loved each one of them. They drive great, they get wonderful fuel mileage and they are reliable. There are few things that can and do come up, they are a mechanical object so anything is possible. 


We have found that some have an oil consumption issue. The older ones for sure will consume oil. As long as it's within the 1 quart per 1,000 miles then you're usually okay. It's when it is consuming more than that it can become an issue. To avoid engine damage, it's important to check your oil levels regularly, and if it's low then top off your oil. If you notice excessive oil consumption which is more than 1 quart of oil per 1,000 miles then it needs checked. 


Almost all Honda engines have timing belts. The timing belt needs to be changed every 60,000 to 90,000 miles depending on your engine. Waiting to have this replaced can cause extensive engine damage if the timing belt were to break. Replacing it is important to your engines health and the longevity of your vehicle. 


Tune up aka new spark plugs. Your Honda needs a tune up every 30,000 to 90,000 miles this depends on your engine. Keeping your engine running smoothly increases your fuel mileage and makes your engine run more smoothly.
