  • Ron Ananian, The Car Doctor - January 4, 2025 - Hour 2 - 18 Sonic With Overfull Oil - (855)560-9900
    2025/01/04

    In this radio broadcast, Ron Ananian, "The Car Doctor," discusses a series of automotive issues that can lead to vehicle breakdowns, with a particular focus on oil leaks and their consequences.

    Ron kicks off by explaining a common issue seen in Honda V6 engines, specifically a 2011 Honda Odyssey that had a significant oil leak. This leak originated from the Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system, causing oil to drip onto the alternator, leading it to fail. The alternator’s failure caused the vehicle to break down on the road. Ron emphasizes that such oil leaks can lead to expensive repairs if not addressed early, urging car owners to inspect the area around the dipstick for signs of oil leakage.

    The show also touches on tire maintenance, where Ron advises against seeking cheap replacements for corroded rims, suggesting that proper bead sealers can often solve air pressure issues. He introduces Tech Tire's bead sealer, which he uses to create a barrier that prevents moisture from causing corrosion in tire rims, and stresses its effectiveness.

    Throughout the broadcast, Ron highlights the importance of preventive maintenance, offering practical advice on how to handle common car issues and avoid costly repairs.
