What oil viscocity for honda accord DX 1990 for cold weather ?

There IS a reason it comes on. It isn't there for looks, it serves a purpose. Verify you have the right amount of oil. Make sure when the oil is changed it is the right viscosity and weight recommended by Honda (probably a 5W-30). When it's cold, the oil is thicker and harder to pump. So typically people in colder climates should run a lower weight oil in the winter (probably 5W30 in the winter, and 10W30 in the summer)

i put gasket maker around the spark plug gaskets cause honda are notorious for oil leaks on the spark plugs

can you specify what type of oil you use and the type of weather you drive in? the reason i ask is because normally for hondas the recommended viscocity is either 5w30 or in hot conditions 10w30 which is reasonable, but thicker is better in hot conditions. what happens, is that the oil gets to a certain temperature that it cannot hold it self together and begins to break down, which is why at longer distances it has a higher chance of breaking down. and the oil it self might not actually be getting burned. have you checked the oil physically? if im not mistaken, the gage on the car is not an oil level gauge, but rather an oil pressure gage. like i said earlier, after a certain temperature the oil begins to break down, meaning that it cannot hold the same amount of pressure which your car has to maintain in order to prevent a blown head gasket. pretty much, unless you have your oil light come on, which means the oil pressure in your engine has dropped too much, then dont worry about it too much. the best thing i could recommend is increasing your viscocity to 5w40 of you live in colder climates, or 10w40 if you live in a warmer climate. hope this helps, and if you need any questions, let me know

The thermostat switch need to be check and change.

If you live in cold climate I would recommend 10w30 for winter use, it's a bit thinner and will start better. However if the truck is used hard, such as for towing loads I would use the 10w40. If you live in a warm climate I would use 10w40 all the time.

sounds like vacuum loss related to brake booster. can you hear a vacuum leak ?

hi..try to check your radiator,should be anti freeze coolant,and also check your engine oil try to buy oil suitable for cold environment...one thing more try to ask what kind of gas can go with cold weathers..
hope my ideas can help..

May be just the cold weather and condensation..if it goes away thats ok i think,, if it stays thats bad.... most cars show some type of smoke or something when they are cold....mine does .. and its fine... make sure its not pure thick blue smoke., for long periods.... that means ur burning oil...make sure to check ur oil and dont ever over fill it ....

synthetic very good year long and car start better in cold weather thanks pierre
