Car Forum / Honda Cars / January 2008Love my CRV 1999. Does anyone know if there is an online 'user manual.'
The couple who sold it to me did not have it. Thank you. www.soupdown.com Go to site https://techinfo.honda.com/rjanisis/logon.asp. On the left, click on "Owner's Manuals." Follow the pointers. Once you arrive at the pdf file, it may appear that only one page has come up. In fact, page numbers that are highlighted within the pdf file are links on which you can click to take you to the page. Also, in the upper right hand corner of any white page look for an arrow. Click the right arrow to get to the next page. Lastly, pressing "Ctrl-A" will permit easier reading of some of the pages at this site. > The couple who sold it to me did not have it.

I normally use Firefox. Reading your oil loss records with some interest. Caught my eye because mine seems to vary on my 91 Civic as well, at 202k miles. I was a little worried over a period of a few months this past summer, but then it tapered off mightily. >> "Elle" <honda.lioness@nospam.earthlink.net> wrote >>> Go to site https://techinfo.honda.com/rjanisis/logon.asp.

In Firefox some of the Techinfo pages have blue backgrounds, making text hard to read unles you hit "Ctrl-A" first. It seems some Web developers create sites and pages for IE only, not bothering to check for compatibility with other browsers. Techinfo is one of those. There is a fix for Firefox, though. It's an Add-On called IE Tab. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1419 Install that. Ff a page in Firefox looks weird, you can now right-click in the window to get the drop-down menu, then choose "View Page in IE Tab". IE Tab works very well, obviating the need for the "Ctrl-A" trick. > Reading your oil loss records with some interest.

I posted a question about that very issue in rec.autos.tech a few months ago. I think basically nobody knows why this happens. Just rolled over 298,000 yesterday. Less than 2,000 miles to go!

I updated Firefox not long ago and it changed something in a way I did not like. Hence I now avoid updates etc. unless it's essential. Yes, I have been told that this is a little risky. Yet sometimes I think there's a lot of nonsense going around about virus risks, etc. Software companies selling their wares. So thanks anyway. > I posted a question about that very issue in > rec.autos.tech a few months > ago. I think basically nobody knows why this happens. > > Just rolled over 298,000 yesterday.

The only Add-On I have installed is IE Tab, just because I hate having to go to IE for the few pages that don't work right in Firefox. I do allow Firefox to upgrade whenever it prompts me to, and I've found Firefox to be completely stable and reliable. >> I posted a question about that very issue in >> rec.autos.tech a few months [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > you posted recently here? I have not given this any study, > other than noting you noted it. The collapsed oil control ring theory came from a tech who posts in rec.autos.tech. It sounds plausible to me, but without tearing the motor apart, who knows for sure? In light of the fact that's it's academic anyway, I do subscribe to that theory.

I quite agree. But as I said, it was a theory. It was not presented as anything authoritative. > bottom line: guesses are fine, but guesses presented as fact? This theory was never presented to me as fact.

And how do we know you're not, Jim? ;-) It's amazing to me how much groups like this have replaced things like reading the Owners Manual or getting a good shop manual. Or even applying common sense! The old saw 'There is no such thing as a stupid question' really isn't true when 'groups' are concerned... Dan D Central NJ USA > It's amazing to me how much groups like this have replaced > things like [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > as a stupid > question' really isn't true when 'groups' are concerned... I wonder whether you are neglecting things like the poster had the smarts to go look for a resource that would answer his questions; some people like to teach, so there are two way benefits; etc. I think a lot of folks still just need a little guidance on /how/ to get questions answered, then they can fly on their own. That can start at fora such as that which Usenet provides. IMO the internet and these fora are boons to the marketplace of ideas. We all live better because of them. Without the occasional so-called "stupid question," I don't think they'd be the same. Learning is incremental. Plus the anonymous, little moderated aspects of Usenet mean no one can use his/her credentials as some kind of free pass, immunizing his/her ideas from criticism. Substantive ideas can be dissected by competent high school students alongside the multi-graduate degreed. And why not? All one needs in many cases is to think logically and read carefully. It's the ultimate free marketplace of ideas. This is a good thing. > Plus the anonymous, little moderated aspects of Usenet mean > no one can use his/her credentials as some kind of free > pass, immunizing his/her ideas from criticism. And who really knows what/who anybody is in here or anywhere else? Usenet is a sort of fantasy land where nothing is forced to be truly real. You can tout yourself as anything you want to be and nobody's the wiser unless you start saying things that are palpably wrong. > Substantive > ideas can be dissected by competent high school students [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > It's the ultimate free marketplace of ideas.

Or even > applying common sense! The old saw 'There is no such thing as a stupid > question' really isn't true when 'groups' are concerned... that's largely true in a time when there's groups.google.com and you can look stuff up that's been asked a billion times before. but if it's not there, asking "dumb" questions is absolutely the right thing to do. personally though, i just can't be bothered with crap about "my transmission doesn't work - what's wrong" or "why does my washer fluid bottle take 4.7 quarts, not 5.3" - those idiots aren't here for real questions - they're here because nobody they know personally will listen to them. > I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.11 (latest update). > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > found Firefox to be > completely stable and reliable. I have Firefox 1.5.0.12. Maybe I will take a look for the IE tab, though. You're right occasionally one is better off, for viewing purposes, with IE. >> You do not buy the collapsed oil control ring spacer >> theory [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > it's academic > anyway, I do subscribe to that theory. Okay. I shall keep my eyes peeled for more info on this.

You're way, way out of date. I don't even know if IE Tab will work on your version. My own experience leads me to suggest you upgrade to the latest version of Firefox as soon as you can. They've fixed a lot of bugs and added some very nice features, like much more convenient control over cookies and pop-ups. And it's very stable. And even the tabbed browsing is real winner: When you shut down Firefox with multiple tabs open, it will ask you if you want them all back again next time you restart. You really learn to appreciate that one. If you upgrade and don't see all the new features, you'll have to do a complete uninstall of the old version and reinstall the new version from scratch. I love Firefox, personally. SignatureTegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ > I love Firefox, personally. So do I, though I'd narrow this to a love for how much faster it is loading compared to IE. The old version works great, but I will keep in mind your remarks on updating. As always, good to compare notes on our 91 Honda/Acuras. I really love it in this recession. > The couple who sold it to me did not have it.
