We have 2 crv’s. A 2003 and a 2016. 129000 mi and 44500 respectively. Air filters are in good shape and oil changes are done regularly. Both are a/t. The plugs were replaced on the 03 @ 98000. Any suggestions on what to do on each? The 03 gets 16 and the ‘16 gets 22 on mixed driving ( street and hwy).
thanks
Steve
Forgot to mention they are both awd.
Do what he does in this video. If you've never cleaned your MAF sensor, you may get better gas mileage. https://youtu.be/NWCKvU2FmDc
I had a 2000 crv in perfect running order I only got 17/21. My friend had a 2001 for a very short time and he got around 19/20. His car was also in perfect running order and both where AWD. I spoke to a master Honda mechanic about this and he said that is perfectly normal for these cars. New they get 23/25 as they age it starts to drop off. Do what @justin-shepard said. It cannot hurt only benefit. Now if your mpg suddenly started to drop then something other then age is the issue.
Did you replace your coils when you did plugs. Have you ever cleaned your throttle body. Did you try running a injector cleaner like Chevron techron . I was thinking about it last night and you might be able to squeeze a couple more mpg if those components haven't been replaced or cleaned
I'll try the Royal purple first, car was tuned up and I believe only the plugs were replaced. The throttle body is next and the MAP cleaner before that. I hear that the engine light is going on after my daughter fills up the gas tank then goes off sometime later once driven around. That sounds odd. We had the knock sensor replaced the first time the light went on but not sure how long it took for the light to reappear...maybe a few months..my daughter doesn't live nearby.
