Using engine cleaner when changing oil can be beneficial, as it helps to remove sludge and deposits that accumulate over time. However, it's not always necessary; if your engine is in good condition and regularly maintained, a standard oil change may suffice. If you do choose to use an engine cleaner, ensure it is compatible with your engine type and follow the manufacturer's instructions. Ultimately, whether to use it depends on the specific condition of your engine and your maintenance routine.
When it is time to change your oil, you should change all of the oil.
No matter what kind of car you have, you should change your oil every 3000 miles (If a lot of city stop-and-go driving) or every 4000 miles if you do a lot of highway driving. By the way it is also a good idea to change your oil filter every time you change your oil. Always buy the more expensive filters. What's the difference if you spend a dollar and seventy five cents from four dollars and fifty cents. The answer is cleaner oil with the more expensive filter. Cleaner oil means a cleaner engine and a clean engine lasts a long time if you take care of it.
drop your oil pan and clean or change the oil pump screen and it should work...I had to do that and cleaned it with parts cleaner and now it works fine..they tend to clog after awhile.
Change oil/filter every 5,000 miles.
I would NOT DRIVE THE CAR. You can start it then change the oil immediatly. Transmisson oil is a great cleaner but not a very good lubricant for an engine.
once every season
If it is the 3.0l, change the oil every 3 months OR 3000 miles and that engine should last you forever If it is the 3.0l, change the oil every 3 months OR 3000 miles and that engine should last you forever

You should change engine oil in car or truck every 5,000 miles.
If you intend to keep your vehicle's engine clean, change it every time you change your oil. The filter holds the dirt your engine generates. Hence the dark color of your oil as it ages and is pumped through your engine. Dirt is dirt. Get it out.
Try using sea foam engine cleaner before engine oil change and change oil to mobil 1 0W30 oil. The problem should go away with 0w30 oil due to it high detergent value, this should clean out the valve/lifter ports which may be plugged up. this is a common problem with the Honda 3.2L engine due to tight mfg. specs and small oil passages at the lifters. I had the ticking noise on my 1994 Honda passport and switching to mobil 0w30 oil took care of the problem. Continue with 3-4K oil changes.
