Either it enters and leaves lean burn all of the time at 55 MPH, or a faulty oxygen sensor is causing other issues.

Well, this is my car, all kinds of things could be wrong!

Everyone says that if you purchase an oxygen sensor made by anyone but NGK\NTK, who makes it for Honda, it will not work. Magestic Honda has some of the best prices, but they ask $405. List price is $586.95.

The other issue with the HX is the aluminum oil pan. Impact-wrench happy kids that perform bargain oil changes often over-tighten those, stripping them, and then you need a new pan.

Everyone recommends the Quickvalve.

With that, I can change my oil without tools!

On my '01, I used a Bosch primary O2 sensor. No problems with the O2 sensor and lean burn functions.

I solve the oil pan issue by not allowing anyone to change oil but me... Cost for that solution is $0.00
