5K is almost up and was thinking of replacing the engine oil myself. Can I get away without replacing the oil filter as on the book it doesn't even need to be change on the 10K service.
I've decided to take the car every 10K to a Honda dealer, but every 5K I'll just change the oil myself.
I change oil & filter every 5000km. Personally i cant see the point of changing oil without a filter. As your car is still under warranty i suggest you use genuine oil & filter, and keep receipts.
dealerships are a rip off.
do it yourself.
or
take it to a certified mechanic who uses genuine parts.
or
buy the parts yourself and take it to him and just pay for labour.
and keep all receipts for warranty purposes.
yer dealerships are a rip i work for one and 10k 20k and 30k are the same baisically a oil and filter change and thats it you would be much better off buying the parts and doing it your self but lil heads up honda oil filter's have a smaller o'ring so you tend to haft to do it a bit tighter
Hey, why is the 50,000km service the major one? I had mine done at 40,000kms.. they found some damage when they removed the rocket cover, apparently some bits of metal filings from somewhere.. then forced me to buy the extended warranty or fork out $1500 to fix... anyways that's another story
i'm nearing the 50,000km service and was wondering if anyone can remember how much it cost?
got the 50k service today. $220ish as usual. but they found an oil leak from the vtec solenoid. In the report it states "Replaced faulty vtec solenoid".
Has anyone had any issues like this before? I seem to have a LOT of problems with my car, luckily I purchased the extended warranty (like i had a choice). At my last service they found that the cam lobes were scraping against something and found metal shavings inside. went 2 weeks without my car. i wonder what they'll find next service..
