Service questions...

[B00mer]

Hey, i've been searching prelude forums for some answers to help me get some bits together for my 2nd Gen's service.

The amount of gearbox oil, I have been told 3.7l and read 6l for the Auto box, but i can't find a definitive answer.

Engine oil, 5W-40 Full Syn or 10W-40 Fully Syn are either fine?

Spark plugs would NGK-R Platinum plugs be ok?

Thanks for any help,

B00m

Gearbox oil seems a bit odd. The 3rd and 4th gens need 2l for the manual box.

[B00mer]

Yeah well i thought 6l is over the top, but i'm finding it a little hard tracking down some answers

[mercutio]

yeah 6l is way too much even if you factor in the fluid in the torque converter

You need to download the 3g accord service manual

I just checked and its 6l at assembly or 3l at oil change

[B00mer]

Cheers mate, yes it is indeed 3L i've had this confirmed.

The alternator belt for the 2nd Gens has also been discontinued (31110-PA6-003) so im on the look for an alternative

[FrontBackSide2Side]

It shouldn't be too hard, what kind of belt is it? V-belt? Ribbed? Etc then just a case of measuring it

[B00mer]

Everything i have searched so far in relation to this has said V Belt, but nothing much corresponding with the OEM part no

EDIT: Found one £8 not OEM, Honda wanted £50!!

Strange same seller, the only thing i would point out is the parts number i have been given is listed on my link.

But your engine code is correct on yours

Sod it £3 extra won't break the bank


EDIT:

Thank you for your help Front
