Those waste management centers. Look out for their signs when you drive around. There is one in North Ryde. They let you dump up to 10L at a time at no charge.Quote:

You don't change oil on CU2 till 10K.But if it was my car i'd change it round the 5K mark with a full synthetic.Buy your own oil and when you get it serviced let the service guy know you brought your own oil.You'll then know what oil is in your car.Quote:

I wouldn't use FEO and leave it in for 10k.It's mineral oil and it tends to break down approx.7-8K
And some dealers are too cheap to use even FEO. Instead, they use what they have by the drum, and that is usually magnatec.
agreed with aaron.

had my 09 Euro Man in for the 1000K checkup, the Honda man on the floor said to only use the Honda 30 grade oil up to 10,000 or 6months with no filter change? :D
Had my 1,000kms checkup a few weeks ago as well but before it was due I spoke to the service manager and he said it's not recommended to change the oil at 1,000kms but to wait till the first service at 10,000kms. However, if I insisted they could do it (at a charge of course) but then he'd still discourage me from changing the oil. In the end I just opted for a regular 1,000kms checkup.
Change the oil at approx.5-6K and then run a good full synthetic,you then can change the oil every 10K service.Quote:

If you change ffull sync at 5k then change it again at 10k, it would be a waste/overkill
Due to the engine pinging noise I have let Honda put in whatever the hell they use and then I will use full synthetic, and swear by Mobil 1, have had an engine fail due to Motul Turbolight, and I even use Mobil 1 in my rotary which is something alot of oldies swear is BAD cause synthetic does not burn (rotors have oil injection for those that don't know), though I have never had a problem and pulling the engine done there is less deposits so go figure...
Who ever told you that needs a kick in the head. :zip:Quote:
