The real flex in having a car is owning it, keeping it clean & running, and driving it with pride. A well-maintained car beats a neglected luxury ride every single time. Drive it. Own it. Maintain it.

Spark plugs! Very essential. Honda cars are often sensitive to spark plugs. They will work o but you may not enjoy the driving experience.
Toyota, on the other hand, will survive it, but in the long run, it will still show.
Please watch this video.
Where did you get the original plug? Got the one of 20k on my accord v4 2015... my driving experience was rough had to return the old plug back.

We talked briefly about gearbox servicing, the different types of transmission fluids and some of the brands available for different cars especially automatic and CVT gears. Honestly, there's no way to cover everything in one video.
But here are a few important things you should know before you change your gear oil.
1. Allow the transmission to cool before servicing. Ideally, let the car sit overnight before draining the fluid. This reduces the risk of burns and makes the initial draining process safer.
2. Get the correct transmission fluid. Your VIN or chassis number can help you identify the correct gearbox specification. You can use ChatGPT to help identify the recommended fluid and even find pictures of what the correct product looks like. Always cross check with the manufacturer's specifications.
3. Don't forget the gearbox filter. Where the transmission has a serviceable filter, replace it when due. Also, work with an experienced mechanic who understands that particular gearbox.
4. Be careful with neglected transmissions. If you've driven a car for over six years without changing or checking its transmission fluid, especially an older vehicle (2010 and below), don't just rush into a gearbox flush. Have an experienced mechanic assess its condition and determine the safest servicing procedure.
Remember, gearbox maintenance is much cheaper than gearbox repairs. Prevention is always better than cure.
And please before you get a car get it inspected by us. We will save you from that gear whala before you even buy it
There was a gearbox repair we did for Aproko Doctor on his Lexus after doing some consulting for him on a car he was interested in getting.
We replaced the valve body, gear friction plates (fibres), and a few other gearbox components. Everything was working perfectly after the repair.
Then, just two months later, we got a call that the car wasn't engaging reverse. My heart almost leapt out because I knew how much he had spent on that repair.
Apparently, the gearbox oil had been leaking through a hose we didn't detect during the initial repair. By the time we discovered it, the components we had replaced had burnt again due to friction from insufficient lubrication.
He was very understanding when we explained what had happened, and we asked him to pay only for the replacement parts during the second repair.
For the past three months, I've been monitoring that car like a hawk. Every three weeks, I'll either go with my gearbox specialist or send the team to inspect and scan the car.
You see, gearbox issues can come back just when you've started enjoying your peace of mind.
This experience reinforced something for me: repairing a gearbox is one thing; ensuring the underlying cause of the failure has been completely addressed is another.
Gear problems see omo avoid them with maintenance if you can .
This is one of the many reasons why driving to clear your head is hard in this country. You will deal with bad roads, police, and other things. By the time you are back, you will have a serious headache. Commercial drivers are really trying. Imagine doing this daily.
