Hello everyone. My name is Billy, and I'm a car wholesaler who finally got tired of selling SUVs so cheap and decided to get one of my own. I wanted an MDX last year when we were shopping for the wife, but they were a little more than I wanted to spend, so I got a loaded Accord. Today, I traded that dinged and scratched up 2003 Accord EX-L, and got my 2002 red MDX with 64k and a 2 year HondaCare warranty-all with no money out of pocket. I've always liked Honda stuff, though my true love is my Silverado:
I like trying to make my truck forum guys understand the sense it makes to buy Honda stuff, but of course they never want to hear it. :rolleyes: I'm one of the very few Chevy/Honda guys.
I've been searching up whether running premium is actually necessary among other things. Great site! :7:

Welcome aboard...:) :welcome:
I run 87 octane in my 02 and I see no difference between 87 and 91. I get about 21 MPG in local driving with 87 and it pulls my boat to the ramp no problem. No pinging, no knock, no power loss.
There is a thread here where a Davis chip test was run on a 02 and it showed no gain with 89 octane or higher unless at WOT.
So save your money and run 87.
Do a search on the topic...many different opinions but it seems with the 01 02 it makes little difference what octane you use. |

| thanks guys. I did check the history on the tranny and it was checked back when the problems occured and it was supposedly fine. Thats one of the main reasons I went ahead and got the 24/24 warranty-just to make myself feel safe for a little while anyway. |
