Just bought a 1998 honda prelude 2.2l auto and would like to find out what is the recommended weight of oil

If you are DIY, I highly recommend the repair manual, with the electrical section. filepeep.com if they have it. or, manualslib.com or auto parts store usually carry it. or your library may carry a copy.

Its possible that you need some cyilinders repair there.

• Hi, You want to use a 5W30 weight oil for your car. I would recommend a High Mileage 5W30 motor oil as well. High Mileage has some detergents and additives that help swell the seals of engines with over 75,000 - 100,000 miles on it to prevent minor leaks.

• If you have any comment please feel free to leave them here.
• Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa.

Look on the dip stick itself, the original owners manual or perhaps in the engine compartment you may also find something on one of the numerous stickers there.

FYI: recently I bought oil from a well known auto parts store for a 1992 truck and they did NOT provide the correct information, I found it on the sticker for the engine oil and written on the dip stick for the transmission oil...

Best regards

Wix, Purolator, AC, Any one of these make oil filters for your vehicle and all meet manufacturer recommendations. Any auto parts store will sell them.

Go to the auto parts store and tell them you want a quart of transoil for your Honda, they will direct you ...

test power at the starter's power wire. If there is voltage, replace starter. If there is no power, check fuses/relays, if those are fine, check ignition switch (there is a recall on this since 2002). Typical symtoms of ignition switch failure on these vehicles include: Some warning lights not lit when key is turned to ON (ABS, battery, check engine, oil light etc.), Intermitted hard start/No start, stalling while driving, intermitted guage failure. If it is an ignition switch failure, call your local honda dealer for possible free repair under the recall(have your VIN# at hand). hopefully this helps

Definitely change the transmission oil - could be some rubbish in there stopping the actuators working correctly. If that doesn't work, could be time for rebuild with new friction material in the clutches.

Try changing the Transmission oil - can solve a host of problems, including rough changes.

any codes? the trans computer will store them. also the engine computer this is an obd2 car autozone can scan for free
