For God's sake, just tell me, yes or no for 2022 CR-V!?? (1.5T fwd)
Thank you sir.
@@albertol2670 NO
i have a 2003 Honda Accord with the exact same 2.4l 4cyl. It currently has 351,544 odo reading. Still runs strong and gets 33 mpg. Ive takent his car everywhere from ohio to florida keys. Ive also owned 2003 Accord with the v6 6 speed combo sold it after fixing relay problems causing motor to die while cruising. It was too sporty for my needs. Keep up the videos Scotty enjoy every one!!
@@albertol2670 yes just make sure to use the oil that scotty recommends for those engines to avoid the oil dilution. I think Scotty will also recommend the fwd and not the awd because it may break dowen and give our problems in the future, and it reduces gas milage, unless you REALLY need it, and on a crv you probably wont go off roading
Hondas SUCK. Toyotas all day everyday
That was one of the cleanest cars ever on here. Even the engine was spotless.
Mine is just like it, 135,000 miles and garage kept. Accord Coupe. Try to find anything new as simple and robust - good luck...
How do they keep it that clean.
@@hybrid.roodragon1226 Engine bay cleaner :) Maybe every month or so? :D
Honda boy feeling a little but hurt eh 🤣
@@hybrid.roodragon1226 Front grill does not pass the road grime, living in SoCal just some Armor All on a rag every year. Mine's 2006.
those k24 engines (civic si, accord, crv etc) are some of the most durable engines honda ever made. they can handle power and stay reliable. one of the best engines ever made 👍🏽
Actually there's plenty of issues with them. Bad piston rings and vtec actuator. Honda had to extend the warranty to 150k miles. Do not buy a Honda with this engine.
@@Brocko2891 my K24 had an actuator failure at 165k and it’s a 2017. Currently at 186k and no more issues.
@@Brocko2891 despite these issues they're still plenty reliable. So many vehicles with this engine are still on the road to this day. My mom had an 05 Accord manual with the 5 speed manual with over 300,000 miles on it and still ran like a champ. Unfortunately someone hit her at a red light and totalled it.
You gotta be super religious with the oil changes cause if you don't change the oil the timing guides will where out badly
@@byronwav that's my current car
My 2006 Honda Accord EX 2.4 cylinder 5-speed manual transmission has 241,000 and is still going strong!
🙂👍
K series is the goat of all engines
@@mariofigueroa9851 diesel engines are naturally more reliable
@@dragospahontu I have a Mercedes 300D also, it's 40 years old and still runs like a champ and gets 27 mpg with over 525k 👍
I’ve got the 2013 version 💪
@@dragospahontu that is true, but you are limited on the selection of diesel cars.
That guy obviously takes care of his car. Engine compartment looks cherry!
"I just hear normal noises, I don't hear any groaning"
Mother-in-Law not in the rear then?
Might seem so, but washing the engine compartment on old cars is doing more harm than good. For old cars just wipe, this looks like a high pressure or steam clean. That's a NO, for old cars.
@@ericb950 You're making a lot of assumptions here. Clearly the vehicle doesn't have any electrical or engine problems. So what ever cleaning method he used, I think it's safe to say he did it right.
@@ericb950 For me, I WD40 everything and wipe it down. Works pretty good.
I'll wash out the channels around the hood every year to get rid of pollen/leaves and such.
@@ericb950
if an engine doesn't leak it stays clean for a long time.
You're a blessing for car owners Scotty!
I have the 2006 Accord 4 cylinder in dessert mist colorway for a year. Now has 460,000 km and still running strong. Keeping it forever.
Hondas are my number one choice, with Toyota second. I had a '97 Accord that I squeezed 595,000 miles out of, same engine, same transmission. My '08 Civic currently has 250,000 miles on it. Toyotas are good, too. I had a '74 Corolla stick shift, that I parked for 2 years. Then, it took 10 minutes to start, I filled it with gas, and drove 170 miles.
Wow!
At that point a honda with that much mileage is a death trap because the body rots throughout, you'll notice at the time of impact they go like an onion peeling ..
@@karlwalter2242 only if there’s salt in the area. In Seattle they have no rust :)
I had a 2003 Honda Accord that had almost 500,000 miles on her before she was totaled in an accident (someone rear ended her). Excellent condition for the age and mileage. I swear by Honda products. She was an excellent car. Accident happened in November 2018.
@@NicholasAndre1 Seattle's on the water. How is there no rusting there?
First engine I have ever owned that I have stopped an oil leak, first engine I worked on myself, first car to work on too, honda odyssey! Driven from one end to Australia and back and she still starts up every time. Love it
I have an '07 Accord with 222,000 miles that looks nearly identical to this one. It still runs perfectly! No issues whatsoever. Gotta love Honda.
different engine (techincally), plus your car has a facelift
359000 runs good lol

She was an excellent car. Accident happened in November 2018. Also still had the original engine and transmission.
My '04 only made it to 130k before the transmission died.
@@MattPSU02 Did you ever change the transmission filter and fluid in it ?
I had Acura TL and Acura MDX and they both needed new transmissions.
@@frandanco6289 YES
Transmissions only make it to 500K when the driver knows how to baby a transmission. Early transmission failures in older Honda’s generally only happen to people who are rough on them. This excludes those newer CVT’s, those things are expected to fail and none of them will make it to 500K on all original parts.
I love my '93 Del Sol Si, 1.6 VTEC 5 speed (original owner). Only 80,000 and in almost perfect shape. Just changed timing belt and water pump. Keeping it forever.
3000 miles per year??
D16z6?
Love my K24 in my 2007 Accord. 640,000 miles and still going strong!
I have a 07 accord K24 auto trans with 260k and it is burning oil and has a suspicious whining noise that is consistent until highway speeds. Did I make a good purchase? 😬
@@simonsays582 unsure what the whining noise is, could be a number of things. I had a whining noise coming from my power steering pump. I got an o-ring from the dealership for a few dollars and replaced it myself in a matter of minutes. Mine burns about a quart every 1,000 miles like clockwork and it’s been that way for years. Top it off and it’ll last a lonnggggg time.
Well it burns a lot, then again I bought it off some 19yr old girl and she didn't do any maintenance. Only a couple oil changes for 60k miles driven. Looked at the PCV valve it was ok but hose was almost completely pinched off.
@@simonsays582 it is fairly common for the oil control rings on these to get gummed up over time. I changed the PCV valve on mine and it made no difference.
@@TheThirdeYe1337 and that's like a engine rebuild isn't it?
I got 240,000km (150,000miles) on my 2005 Accord V6 with 6spd. the V6 is great and super reliable i have never had any issues in my ownership of 10 yrs. If you're in the market for a older V6 Honda/Acura i highly recommend getting it in a manual, you just cant go wrong imo.
My 2003 2.4 Accord with the 5MT is still going strong at 171,000 miles. Unfortunately the body has a few dents from parking lots, Colorado mountain roads, and my mom backing into the driver side quarter panel. Mechanically it's great, hoping to get at least 300,000 out of it.
You will no problem. The k24 is a stout engine. Just keep with the oil changes and you can't lose.
😂
I used to have a 03 4cly had 220k miles when I got rid of it still ran great, now I drive a 05 4 cly everyday driver with 188k on it
171k miles is barely broken in for one of those!
@@tenhundredkills good to hear
About 1 month ago, I called my Mechanic and informed him that I had found a 2004 Honda Accord V6. Excellent condition interior and exterior. He told me not to buy it and instead get the 2005 Honda Civic Si Hatchback EP3.
I got the Hatchback EP3. LOVE IT !
Still have my 2006 Accord VP. Did the oil changes, tranny fluid, and drive it gently. It only has 152k and runs great. The K24 2.4 VTec engine is a trusty workhorse.
Thank you Scotty! I love your show!
Keep the car for sure! Especially with the market we are in now. Great Content Scotty always 🙏
I can agree that the 2.4 DOHC K-Series engines is one of Honda's best engines. I have a 2005 Acura TSX that has 197k miles on it and it still runs great. Just keep the maitenance up on it!
Hey scotty, I've been watching your videos for about a year now. Started sending them to my relatives, they like you to. In live in canton,ohio. I have a 2007,Ford explorer sport trac. It has over 255,284 miles. I bought it used a couple of years ago. It runs great.
I live in canton too!
I know a guy that has about 300k on his Sport Trac, Apparently they were good as well.
My co-worker has a 2002 Ford Explorer with 379,000 miles. Original engine and transmission. He bought it brand new.
That was my favorite Accord! My friend had the v6 model though, and it purred so nicely… but I know the i4 was peppy enough. Definitely quicker than my brand new hyundai
@@allentoyokawa9068 Indeed! They just put out another one today for a windshield that can detach. My sister bought a 15' sonata and I bought a '15 Accord Coupe V6. Her car has had over 13 recalls and she's put over 6k in it for repairs not related to maintenance. My car has had 3 recalls and ZERO problems in the exact sane time period. In 3 recalls they replaced my starter for free as well as my battery right at 35k miles and re flashed my fuel delivery system which I was not having any issueswith at all. I've done nothing but maintenance and it runs las silky smooth as the day I bought it 6 and a Half years ago! Her car has fallen apart, runs terribly, and sounds awful and is worth nothing. I advised her to not get it but she did. I also told her to get rid of it before 100k because it will absolutely start to fall apart then but she didn't. Live and learn. Her next car will be a Corolla camry a civic or Accord. My other sister drives a 16' Honda CRV that I got her znd my mom is on her 7th Lexus ES. Currently a 19' model and it's the 1st one built in KENTUCKY! All others were built in Japan abd there us a huge difference in quality! 6 previous were super ultra solidly built and no recalls and this one has had 3 already. There is something to be said about MADE IN JAPAN!!
@@gabevillarreal96 she will get many more!
@@gabevillarreal96 dads got a 2018 sorrento and at 60km AWD broke, trunk latch broke and key fob doesn't work, sad
Get you a Element!
@@user-dx3ej8vk2i yep Kia and Hyundai are junk. Had a 6spd manual Forte I bought at 42k and drove till 85k then got rid of it. It gave me no problems but I know they were coming. Plus shortly after I got rid of it the recall for the 2.4 engine came out. Like when they would light on fire and such lol. Glad I got rid of it. Back to Honda Toyota or Fords only. Fords have been good to me as my Frontier has been too. That's the only Nissan I would buy.
Scotty I have two 05 Acuras, an MDX and a TL. TL has 145k and the MDX has 125k. I take excellent care of them (adjusted the valves on both!) and they both run and drive like new. 05-06 was peak Honda awesome and I love the V6 power. Yes they need premium and the fuel economy suffers, but I still get 30 on the highway with the TL and that's 270 HP. As long as these are maintained well (especially frequent transmission fluid changes), they will last a very long time.
Have 2007 Accord, built in Marysville plant, still rolling strong at 176 k garaged from day one in dry Arizona, 2.4 PZEV, auto trans, 36 mpg, after 176k my behind fits well into the drivers seat, oh yeah I've also got a 2007 Honda Odyssey Exl, with 184k been coast to coast many times,just got to raise em right, my buddy whose a shop Forman at a Honda dealer,says just keep the fluids in them and maintain them, so far enjoying the rides,always love Scottys input,been watching him for years, I've also driven Toyota's over 200k ,when I bought the Accord I also looked at the Camry,however the Accord won,because it felt sporter, and more fun to drive, and is still fun to drive,
My mother bought a 2009 honda accord euro on new years eve with the vtec straight four and Manuel transmission, been fun driving it so far
Lucky to have a 2003 Accord Coupe with 83,000 miles and a 4 cylinder. Great car, new tires, rear brakes and regular oil changes. Just as good as a new one!
That Accord looks like a car I used to have. 2004 LX, 2.4L white with ivory interior. Good car. Lost it in a flood. Couldn’t be salvaged. Got a ‘15 Accord EXL, same engine and colors. After 19 months of ownership I have only driven 8K miles (working at home). Car has only 66K miles on it. TPMS driving me crazy though.
Look at my comment below, 2 years ago. Today our original owner 2004 Accord with the 2.4 DOHC (4 cylinder) just turned 399,400 miles on the original drivetrain. No issues starting or running, no oil leaks and no smoking. Seems to still have the same power as when new. We've never been inside the engine more that replacing the valve cover gasket, and checking valve lash ( all are good). She wants us to drive it until 403,00 miles or so then trade it in so she can get a SUV. We've just "maintained" this car and never really "baby'ed" it. Our garage wants to acknowledge us when it's in for it's first oil change beyond 400,000 miles.
Keep up the good work Scotty.
I love my Accords! One just hit 223,000 miles and the other just hit 297,000 miles. Keep going down the road
I have a 2011 Honda accord with the vtec engine . Great engine . 125k miles on it . Oil change every 2.5k transmission fluid change every 20k . I put in a half a quart of marvel mystery oil when I change the oil . Its runs so smooth . Very quiet . Akebono brake pads . It should last another 20 years . I was able to get 480k on my last Honda , a 1983 Honda prelude with a 5 speed manual transmission .
I got a 2008 Accord Coupe with this same engine but 5 speed stick shift with 198,000 miles, drives like new, sounds like new, never breaks down.. love it
This is the calmest I’ve ever heard you speak.!
I'm so happy I found my 04 Acura tl. She has some body damage and the dam dash is cracked but the engine and transmission is in such good condition. Over 200k miles and she is a v6 but I really don't have performance issues!
My plan is to get myself on my feet and keeping my car expenses down helps so much.
Ive got an 05 Acura TL with the 6 speed manual trans . I love it .
I’ve heard about those tl always having crack dash
Used to have a 06 Acura v6 with 240k till someone rear ended me
My 2013 Honda accord ex-l v6 has 230k miles. Runs like a Swiss watch. I average a consistent 35-37 mpg on hwy doing 80mph. Otherwise average 27mpg mixed. Pretty damn good imo. Recently bought a 2018 Honda accord 2.0 sport. I'm averaging 32-33 mpg hwy doing 80mph. Real world numbers folks!
May God Bless you Scotty. I just bought used Honda Accord 2006 and thank God gave me the light. T.Q Scotty👌👍
K24 ftw Scotty
Now as a j37 owner my mdx has 240k on it and still rolling. just keep up proper advice it’s well appreciated
That, my friend, is a keeper!!
Bulletproof, I have one with the manual. Runs like a top
Thanks Scotty that was very informative .
I remember adjusting my the valves on air cooled VW engines and the legendary Mopar slant 6. Easy Peasy!!
I got a 06 accord with 280,000 miles on it. Most luxurious and smoothest car I’ve ever owned. Mileage is great and I haven’t had many problems other than oil and rusting
Those k24 engines are good engines. A lot of them develop oil consumption issues after 100k, I think it’s an issue with failing to change to oil. I had a 2012 si that I banged off the rev limiter every time I drove it. Traded her in when the air went out but engine was still going strong
Excellent video I liked it as usual Scotty
Hello love learning things from you Thank you

Half Life Opposing force?
I used to own the 2006 Accord with some options like alloy wheels. After 60k and 4 years, my wife wanted a minivan so decided to sell it. The potential buyer wanted to take it to the mechanic he knows to make sure and I agreed with some anxiety. But the mechanic the buyer knows complimented it so much like Scotty here in front of us and I ended up raising the price a grand and he still bought it.
Thank you for the video brother

@@ChicanoOne760 ha…it is but better than a car payment. Still runs smooth too.
It might be something pretty easy like valve guides replacement to stop the oil consuming... If it not and its the piston rings, that is a lot more work and $$ but it is not ever as much as if you had a bigger engine...
I have a friend who has sold used Honda and Acura vehicles for over 40 years and he is driving a beautiful, older Civic that has 640,248 miles on the odomoter.. I sat in the car and pulled up that odometer, and there it was!!!! These cars can go a long time if you keep up on the oil and filter...
@@frandanco6289 the 2008-2012 2k4 engine has a class action lawsuits for defective piston rings causing excessive oil consumption
Maybe replace all gaskets, my Buick was leaking so I replaced the engine gasket set and it is great now, no leak whatsoever.
I got an RSX with the K20a3. It’s not as powerful or wanted like the k20a2 or z1 found in the Type S but it gets me where I need to go and doesn’t fail
If I was a mechanic... I would watch all your videos... great insight! thanks!!!
Sold my 2018 1.5t Accord to CarMax for $22.5K, paid it off and bought a '99 Lexus ES300 for $1K and kept the rest of the cash.

how many speakers?
dont need traction control anyway xD
I remember driving up the AlCan, where 40 below is not particularly cold--think 70 or 80 below. There were posted warnings not to get onto the road in the winter without a heat source in addition to the engine (I think the signs said there were inspection points during the winter).

I had a 2004 CR-V (the only car I ever bought new). Put 225,000 miles on it, and then it got totaled being in the middle of a 3-car accident. 😟😢 I now have a 2014 CR-V that I bought used. Currently has 147,000 miles on it. One thing about certain Honda’s in and around the mid-teens years is that they had issues with the VTC Actuator (causing random brief grinding sound upon a cold startup in the morning). Got it replaced via recall issue (twice), but I still occasionally get that startup sound (especially in colder weather). It also has other ticky-tack issues that are annoying, but it still runs well and gives great mileage (I average 18,000-20,000 per year on it due to my daily commute). Will hold onto it as long as I can. When the time comes, I’ll bump up to a used Pilot. But that won’t be for another 50,000-100,000 miles. 😎 This is my fifth Honda over the last 30 years. With most Honda’s and Toyota’s you can’t miss, unless it’s a used one that was poorly maintained or mistreated.
i wouldn't buy a honda made after 2018 they are becoming junk
I got a 05 Accord LX 4 cly with 188k miles great car, used to have a 04 ex 4cly with 220k

Hi Scotty! What's your opinion on the spin off segment that is popular in Asian countries? It's like a hybrid between MPVs and an SUV. These cars are 7-seaters with 1.5L petrol engine usually giving only 120PS and 130-140 NM Torque coupled to a 4 Speed automatic transmission or a CVT. Examples of this are the Toyota Rush, Mitsubishi Xpander, Honda BR-V.
I thought from the thumbnail you were going to advise against buying a K20/K24 which is one of the best engines of all time. The LS of the 4 cylinder world...
Agree. The J series v6 and accompanying transmission are lackluster compared to Honda's 4bangers
Nah my TL always outlasts our RSX and prelude. J engines never have problems lol
The v6 is for customers who like to go fast. The k series is plenty sufficient for most people however and it gets better gas mileage
Don't buy any honda with the 1.5 liter with a turbo if you live in a area that gets extreme cold temperatures. 1.5 liter can't get up to operating temp if you have heating fan on high. You end up with oil dilution and very poor heat inside the cab. The 1.5 liter is a three season engine.
K24 has 3 class action lawsuits
Transmission issues were only Present with 03 and 04 models V6
My sons 2003 accord has this engine with 180,000 miles. Burns a little oil. Had the Cat fault code but Scottys paint thinner trick worked and cleared the code!
I have a bad cat what do you do with the paint thinner ??
And my car is an older Honda Accord
@@jaylanprendergast791 it’s actually lacquer thinner. Put a gallon of it in your fuel tank
@@robbflynn4325 thank you I’ll try it
@@jaylanprendergast791 not guaranteed but worked for me, as a result the car passed the state inspection. Have the Rustoleum brand at Walmart for $15.
Best things I've heard after buying a used 2010 civic from my local maintenance tec, "them pistons are clean as a whistle." I had to replace the front bearings and chose to have fluid change at 117,000
I have a 2017 Accord hybrid, and it was made in Japan! Better quality control, I hope to have it a looonnngggg time.
I have the same car with about the same mileage. The car is perfect and feels tighter than most other cars with a fraction of the mileage. My wife wanted to get a newer car and I told her the exact same thing. We will have a hard time finding something better without spending big money.
Wich year please
@@younessabou9481 2004 accord with 286k
J series V6 Hondas are known to be bulletproof . One of the most reliable engines out there . All it needs is a regular oil changes and valve lash adjustments every 100k miles .
Timing belt at 100k too. Interferance engines.
V6 honda
Honda J30A engine for Honda Accord for years 2003, 2004 & 2005. ... which returns for a second-straight year on the Ward's 10 Best Engines list
Scottie what type of machine are you using in this video to run qll the checks on this car. Model? Make? Any upgrades? And rough price? Thanks for your thoroughly expained and highly educational videos. They mean a whole lot to m
That's actually a really good engine just always got to check ur engine oil ..
And change the timing belt every 80-100k miles
@@Marcus-ou4vy Those engines have timing chains.
I had a 2003 Accord with this engine and it never burned a quart of oil in-between its 10,000 mile oil changes. Had 195000 miles when I sold it.
My 2009 CRV has that same engine
yes, the owner should keep the car. I have one and looks as good as that one. I'm not getting rid of mine. I appreciate your honesty and knowledge.
That engine shown in the video looks exactly like the engine I had in my 2004 Acura TSX and looks exactly like the engine I now have in my Honda Accord EX 2010!
These Hondas use the k20 engine, which is legendary. This might be the best engine that Honda has ever made, and it was used in the 2003 to 2007 Honda Accord and CRV.
Don't forget it was also in the the RSX 02-06
This is actually the K24 engine my 8th gen civic si has a K20Z3 engine my brothers 8th gen accord has a K24
Civic Type R EP3
I have a 2007 Honda Accord Sedan 5 speed manual with almost 162,000 miles on it but will need a oil change soon. So that's pretty much nothing in terms of mileage. However it's my temporary car because once I save enough money I will buy my dream car with a stick shift of course.
What's your dream car?
Man you tell em' clearly. Good video!!
This video inspired me to put a new chain and exhaust manifold on my 2010 accord
Let's see, pay $13 to $15.00 to fix a speed sensor or buy a new car??? I would pay the $15.00 and 20 min to fix the unit and keep the car. The only thing I see wrong with the car is that it does not have a backup camera. Okay, want and not a need for me!
And you can easily install a backup camera!
My friend got a 2004 Accord 2.4 manual 233,000 miles no problems
Even if that car needed two wheel bearings, I would not get rid of it. It's had the valves adjusted and the only code is a dummy abs code. Definitely a keeper!
Thanks Scotty!
I wish you were in my State!
i miss my 07 accord even more now
what happened to it?
“But he’s gotta buy another car!” Lmao! I literally laughed out loud
Thank you Scotty.
