Hi All,

Yesterday my Tl was running fine. I put oil, anti freeze and fluid wiper liquid in it.
-This morning when I started it, a huge while smoke appeared in both pipe.
-There are no warning lights.
-The speed dropped from 20 to 0. The gas pedal is hard, cannot accelerate.
-If try again later, it would move but when i hit the hit slightly, it feels like i did a hard drive. Plus there is a cracking noise, not sure where it coming from.
-It vibrate, not too strong.

I have no idea why it is doing that. I appreciate any advices you can provide.

Thanks in advance.

Are you positive that all the fluids went into the proper location? Dont drive it, I would highly suggest you take it to an Acura dealership. The underlying cause is too vast to be determined if the car was running fine prior to what you did.

 

[Acukie]

Yes, I did put all the fluids in their proper location. I'm think of taking it to a local repair shop or Honda dealership because the Acura dealership is far away from me.

 

[TrustinHFDJ]

yes, best bet, what weight oil are you using? and you just added oil correct, not an oil change?

 

[Acukie]

No it was not an oil change. I used Valvoline 5-20, like this one seen here: oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/VAL0/52051QT/N0428.oap?ck=Search_N0428_-1_-1&pt=N0428&ppt=C0162

Now I'm getting a warning light that look like engine check. I'll double check what light is that.

 

[Acukie]

The warning that came on is the check engine light.

strange...... keep me posted, really curious to know what in God's name is going on.

Get that CEL code read and post it here

 

[TrustinHFDJ]

That would be beyond wonderful!

 

[Acukie]

Sorry for the late update folks. The issue was that too much oil was put in it. the oil has nowhere else to go but the pipe. I took it to the local repair shop, they drained the oil out. After couple day, the smoke completely gone.

Thanks all for your feedback.

That sucks, man.

Too much oil may cause gaskets and seals to blow.

Hopefully you weren't driving too long after you did your oil change.

Let this be a lesson learned, the hard way.

That's epic, it had to be that or you put the wrong liquid at the wrong spot... No other reasoning is valid for these circumstances.

I am just extremely surprised, I actually did that once when I had a friend help me with my oil change; he decided to put in all 6 qts and my car takes 4 and a 1/2, in addition it's a 4 cylinder. *Honda

You must of been tripping out[quantity wise], cause I didn't have that problem and I was 1 + above required, the engine felt heavy, but none of that.. Car still runs great, in case your wondering
