Anyone ever run into this problem.... Since day one of owning this Element Every time i change the oil usually within two days the Engine Variable Timing Solenoid fails and have to get a new one.... This time it lasted 3 weeks before failing, then after putting a new one in it will last till next oil change then like clock work go out within two days usually.

This is the type of oil i use for it Castrol GTX High Mileage 5W-20 Synthetic Blend Motor Oil

I know the grade of oil is correct , i would think that brand of oil also would do fine in the car..

This part is not cheap at all.. Each summer or winter I am having to replace it after Oil change never fails to have to change it.... And i check that little screen on the front side behind he power steering pump and its always clean

Anyone have an ideal of why this happens?
Thanks

 

I don't know why it would be like that.
Just an idea ....
However, I would keep the old VVT solenoid and clean them off.
Replace it with old one and see if that works.
If it does then you can save yourself some money.

 

welcome to the forum. Honda uses mobile 5w-20 syn try that oil to see if it makes a difference.

 

Mobile I guess i can try that to see. Everytime i take the one that is on it off the screen is clear, and the little screen behind the power steering pump is clean... I also noticed when using my scanner to be sure that was the problem once again, it picked up another code that has me worried a P0 600 number, so first going to fix the regular problem then see if that code comes back up the po 600 code once i clear the ECU of trouble codes. I do wish i could figure out why this happens so much, surely every one i purchase is suppose to last longer then it does on this element. I don't get the aftermarket either the ones i purchase cost around 104.00... sure a headache...
