1. Sorry if answered, but what about the transmission inline filter?

2. Excellent video. Thank you. Would have the part number or. a source for the "tool" that helps in diverting the oil mess from the oil filter.?

3. Hey man your video did help me but I have a crazy question are you still running the Honda and if so how many miles?

4. Eric. First off I haven't seen your channel in a few years. I bought one of these looking for another on facebook marketplace, offer up, and ebay. Today a randomly log on and see some long bearded hipster doing a review on a 2003. (Internet spy's seen my browsing and set a trap in youtube) Then it auto changed to your channel. I had no idea you had one and had so many videos for it. I also learned 8 new things from your channel.

5. Eric, I've found a cheap solution to Honda's oil deflection shield. Buy a piece of v-shaped flashing at your local hardware store for a couple bucks. Does the same job.

6. Hi eric! I broke my water outlet assembly on my 2003 Honda crv ( hose connector going to the air filter housing) will it damage my engine if I leave it broken? Thanks

7. Timing chain broke in mine at 110k miles, Grenaded the engine, Oil was changed every 5 k. This is a 2006 Crv with the 2.4

8. thanks – with covid -19 and not alot of money your video help me to install it myself. and save me alot of money.

   thanks 🙏

9. sir eric…..replacing/adding break fluid…. is that ok to mixed not the same brand….. thanks…

10. At 16:55: The most on-point academic short-slang I've heard in a long time. Immediately subscribed!

11. Amazing man, you are a legend ❤️👍

12. I think some body should solve this K&N air filter once & for all . Two clean vacuums , some dust & a standard filter & a K&N. I think you can guess the rest , so how much dirt made it through each? I think this is too much like the argument for synthetic vs conventional oil …by the way are tomatoes really poisonous ?

13. Just love your channel, you explain it perfectly , i have s honda element also. So youve helped me be a better mechanic!! Thank you

14. Is this thing still running? If so, how many miles??

15. 110 people hit the wrong button….

16. Where are you putting the jack to lift the front end?

17. How easy or difficult are these cars to work on compared to other years of Honda models and other cars in general?

18. Sweet element, I had to check it out to make sure I have done all of this. I purchased mine already with 190k miles. Already replaced all struts. QUESTION: what would cause a grind/rattle ONLY when in gear, ONLY below 3k RPM. Does not happen in Neutral or if I accelerate aggressively. Sounds like its from the front or middle of the car. FACT: I do have a P0420 that will no go away despite changing first o2 sensor. My thoughts: bad catalytic converter? loose heat shield? the noise level can vary from day to day.

19. Eric. I recently bought a 2011 CRV for my daughter’s first car. There was an air bag recall that had not been performed. When I took it to Honda for the recall, they suggested I get a Fuel Filter Injection Service, Perform fuel/Air Induction System Service and Perform Throttle body service. What are the differences in each of these and do I really need all three?

20. i use Iridium spark plug until it go wrong.

21. Buying a 2014 CRV this week but also own a 2005 TSX. Both K series engines. I change my oil every 7500 miles on the TSX and according to black stone oil labs analysis of my oil, 5000 miles were too short and the oil was in great shape.. Thats why I do 7500 miles but Honda recommends 10,000 mile changes.. Also I used spark plugs that were not the exact fit on my TSX for about 70,000 miles. No engine issues at all but I definitely noticed better gas mileage after changing back to the original recommended plugs (the old plugs were not bad yet). I drove the same 240 miles route every weekend for 2 years to compare the mpg difference. Currently 155,000 miles on the TSX, never changed a crush washer on the transmission drain plug. Change the ATF every 25-35k miles (every 2 years) and its still a nice red, but would like it staying nice and red.

22. Eric,i like your video's where did your family come from 'cause you don't want to rip everybody off.i watched someone else's vid on changing the 7v belt and they said to fix the old and new together with a tie wrap at the top of the old and pull from below,i tried this and it worked well,don't forget to cut it off.Just thought i'd
    let you know as you are one of the best.

23. 13:20 The radio code is troublesome to get if you haven't done it before. It was a surprise for me. Google "radio code for Honda ________." You'll need the VIN.

24. Honda didnt do it because they are cheap and pass the cost to the consumer.

25. Another tip I have seen some do is if there is room to stick a small funnel to it and channel the oil towards the drain catch.

26. Use a rubber hose and attach spark plug to one end. Push it down the hole and hand tighten the spark plug. Never have to worry about damaging the ground strap or changing the gap.

27. Got honda element because you have one and you have this kind of videos about it … Thanks.

28. A tool list would be helpful. Not everyone has access to a shop manual and opinions on the Internet are…. well sometimes unreliable.

29. Almost 220k on my dad's 07 element. Oil and filter every 2-2.5k. The engineers don't engineer engines like old Mercedes..its all for profit now. Have returning customers so don't buold anything that lasts.

30. Thanks brother!

31. Is dielectric grease needed when doing plugs? Also can you feel the washer compress with the last quarter turn?

    Update: Thanks Eric the Car Guy!

    Took on my first ever spark plug replacement and here is what I did.
    Stats: NGK 6994# w/ 80k miles, rough low idle, sometimes a feeling of stalled response/hesitation on the jump.

    Plugs were not as tight as it looks in this and other videos when they "break the seal". Came out looking good like Eric's with less corona burn on the ceramics. Barely any to be honest. Coil packs were in good shape, styling like they stepped out the factory for a 15yr old car.

    Install: Hand tighten till it wont turn and finished with a quarter turn to close with the wrench. Visually to me looked like a 20% turn. No grease or release used on plugs or coil packs.

    After install, smooth idle (use to wobble), engine is responsive and sporty! Vtec feels alive!

    Hope I did it right. My car, she is fun to drive again!

    Also, reconnected the chamber, air flow which might have fixed something. Keeps coming off:/

32. Hi Eric;I have a 2003 Honda Element that has a relay behind the glove box that kips clicking ( with key on or off) dash lights not lighting, 3-4 turns of key to get the engine turn over and start. runs OK but the clicking keeps going. Any thoughts and help help?Also replaced the relay, but new one clicks the same as the old one.Thanks Stan

33. Love your videos. You're a very honest and sincere individual. Can't get enough of your videos. Love you brother keep up the good work God bless stay safe😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

34. Those grommets are expensive little things!

35. no compressed air to blow any dirt,, dust,, b4 you pull coils,,,? ok,,,

36. Thank you!

37. They may say every 10k miles but the maintenance light comes on after 3k so confusing of Honda.

38. You should do a video installing a Automotive Koncepts & Designs Inc Dual Pump Quick Spool System to make the awd work better, its only $110….

39. One way to limit over tightening is using shorter handle wrenches.. Especially for new home mechanics. Pretty much don't use a ½" drive ratchet on everything. Use a ⅜ or even a ¼ ratchet for small fasteners below 14 mm. That way you do not have enough mechanical advantage to bust stuff.

40. To stop battery sulfation on my ej8 I replaced my negative wire from the battery to the chassis with a negative 0 gauge replacement from autozone and then from the same bolt where these 0 gauge negative negative cable attach to the chassis I run a negative cable 4 gauge to the same bolt grounds the transmission to the chassis.

41. E3's spark plugs works amazing on my d16y8 with the accel super coil 11076

42. Mine still runs great 235.000 never changes it

43. Have you ever changed the fuel filter?

44. Hey Eric are the links and bushings the same as a 2011 CRV

45. video is too shaky, otherwise good content. Thanks!

46. Hi I have a 04 element and I changed the vtec assembly and vehicle drove fine for 2 months then code comes back when I drive with low fuel and does not drive over 3 k RPM I add fuel and it it drive fine I taken it to the dealer and they can't figure it out actually gave me my money back any input on this situation

47. When I see you open up a cover with the dirt and debris adjacent to the components take a minute and vacuum the dirt to keep out of the engine. Makes me crazy to see sloppy work when a wet rag would solve the problem and possibly prevent a disaster by junk in engine.

48. Little tip,put some copper paste on the treads off the spark plug. Next time it will never seeze or squeel.
