Wives 2018 honda... I want a egt gauge.

Dealer says installing gauge will void warranty.

    I was thinking the same thing when I read your first post. I being water cooled would make a huge difference.   I would not worry about EGT's much. It's important in diesels because the amou

I would be more concerned about thinning of the oil by fuel, if it's the newer or earth-friendly direct-injected engine. They inject fuel directly into cylinder at high pressure and can overcome compression, if not all of it gets burnt it goes down pass the rings into the oil. I would recommend changing oil every 5000 with full synthetic.

 

 

What makes the combustion incomplete? 

 

We only see this with excessive idle on a cold motor... aside from early 6.7’s.

If I had to guess, without doing any research at all, I'd have to think it might be because of an intentionally rich AFR in certain situations to appease emissions, and to keep the CAT temps in check. Just a thought though, take it for what it's worth.

I've read some place not too long ago, I believe it did mention worse in cold weather and extended idle too. I think Honda is trying to blame it on driver at the same time reworking software to correct some of it, but in the end it's not going to be perfect anyway. I believe China said they won't let any of these engines in the country even with correct software.

And when the wife is getting hers I read that in the cold parts of China is where they're doing some testing on it.  

 

When she was buying it we are signing papers,  I did bring it up the salesman said well you know the worst that could happen didn't have to switch to premium gas,  I just bit my tongue.  

 

Over 43 years I have learned not to say anything about the wife's car.  If I even as much change a light bulb and a million miles later she has a blowout guess who she's going to blame?

    Remember, if a salesman's lips are moving at best he shows his ignorance at worst his out right lying.

    If I don't fix my wife's car by the second time she tells me there's a problem she threatens to take it to the deal.
