so i got my oil change today, and was talking to this guy in the waiting room about my car. he said that my car (2.2 auto) has the 98-02 accord's tranny and engine...then i corrected him that mine is a 2.2 which uses the engine and tranny from the 94-97 accords...and hes was like semi-arguing with me how i was wrong and shit. i was like, the 97 cl 2.2 auto was the more reliable one than the 3.0 in term of tranny and might even be more reliable than the 98-02 auto accords, since their trannies arent that great either..

so let me ask you guys: mine is the 1997 cl 2.2 auto- i used the 94-97 tranny and engine right?
- and for clarification: the 98-99 cl autos, uses the 98-02 accord engine and 98-02 accord auto trannys right? thats why they up the displacement from a 2.2 to a 2.3...cuz the 98-02 accords were 2.3. so they both use the same tranny and engine.

*btw, im just talking about the 4 bangers. thanks for the clarification

 

sorry to put you down man but you don't know how to change your own oil?

 

hahah no. i dont trust myself. lol.

and even if i knew how, i dont have time...i work 7 days a week and i go to school. ehh...

 

yea but 20 mins can save 40 dollars on you car insurance

 

yeah...i don't change my oil either...I'm just way to lazy to do it...but I do all the other work though

 

wow. oil is the easyest thing to do. I love it when people talk about modding there car and they dont even know how to change there oil. Not that thats the case, but those people are all over here.

 

Correct.

CL2.2 auto tranny is called A6VA and 94-97 Accord 2.2 auto tranny is called either AOYA/BOYA/MPOA, but they are all still considered the H4 transmission.

CL2.3 auto tranny is called B6VA and 98-2002 Accord 2.3 auto tranny is called either BAXA/MAXA, but they are all considered the M6HA transmission.

 

98-02 is the 2.3 (98-02) 4banger accord

 

im not hating on people but if a person doesnt want to change their oil then thats their choice not yours...and if you want to go ahead thats your choice. dont hate on them about modding when they cant change their oil.. SO WHAT...ok enough ranting

 

My best friend is the manager of the grease monkey right by your work, I let him change my oil for me, he has for YEARS. It's just easier to let him do it, I've helped him several times, but he handles it. Course when I jacked up the ack and raised the omni's, he sat in a chair and watched, so he doens't do everything for me

 

that place cracks me up i love it....i just let my mechanic do mine...i love getting down and dirty but im too lazy to crawl under my car
