Yes i would get it changed as well, which dealer are you going to get it done at ?
Yeah, change the oil filter. At Rick Damelian, they recommend that you change the oil filter at 1000km.
Hornsby Honda :D:DQuote:

Good Luck! Let me know how you go.
Which dealer are you off to as I am not to sure if I will go back to mine they could not even change a H1 bulb ( they advised me it was the wrong bulb)Phhhh...
thanks rev888
btw if u dont mind me asking, what other questions did u ask? (if u can remember)
how much did u pay for the oil filter?
And im probably going to either larke hoskins at homebush or parramatta trivett classic honda (parramatta is closer...but meh)
From memory without looking at invoice i think oil filter was around $21.Quote:

3. Had this massive black plate backing on the front where the number plate was sitting I only have a small numplate told them to cut it down.
Few other things I mentioned but they were the main things.
yeah about the number plate thing
its HUUUUUUUGE
and quite fugly imo
hmmmm i dont think i need to change the bulbs since i have HID's :D and with the passenger seatbelt, no dramas atm..
but thanks again for the info :D hopefully the euro will run smoother after its first service
Dude! Cut the number plate backing yourself. Won't take you 10 mins to do it!Quote:

As long as you get it done within or before 2000km you will be fine.
whew. thats a relief to hear that REV888 ^^
thanks a lot mate.
i bugged the honda dudes and i got the service date 5 days earlier than planned. this is at a different honda servicing place btw
so im getting it serviced on the 21st now instead of 26th. by then i should be JUST over 1000kms :D
I've got a 3 letter plate and had to make custom brackets for it to go on. The plate is smaller than the factory mounting holes.
How did you guys go about doing this?

When I picked up my car for the first time (Friday), I immediately booked it in for the 1000 km service (Monday - 3 days later)!:pQuote:

Holy cow u went for a long drive straight after u bought the euro... 1000km in the first 3 days of ur new car...
Usually ppl drive normally city driving in their first 1000km so they can get used to the car...
hehehehehe... Guess u wanted to see if the car is comfortable for long distances...
Hi i was just wondering exactly how much a standard service cost, could people please give me their cost/km service
eg
$200/10,000km
stephen8512 where did you get it serviced at?
Thanks in advance
hi. i got mine serviced at trivett classic honda at parramatta. it cost be just a bit over 50 bucksQuote:

30000km. $117. No wheel rotation and Balance.
mine 30000km service is done at Austral Honda. (loan car at extra cost)
All other services were performed at Highway Honda. (where I bought my car)
costs for service do vary from dealer to dealer. so if you dont travel, go to the one with good reputation and cost reasonable.
Sorry I am in Brisbane, so couldn't tell you which one is better in your city.
Where did u get it serviced PNR888
the answer is already in my previous post.Quote:

Austral's service garage looks much much bigger and newer than Highway honda's.
Got my delivery date - wednesday. So that will be awesome!! Yeah I like the look of that place like you said its huge, its clean. Good to hear good reports as well
OMG, was that 10000km service done at Highway Honda?Quote:

Coladuna:
yeah, it was doen at Highway Honda.
you must hae yours done at Austral, right?
I think they charge $117.15 for minor service (eg, 10000 and 30000km). The cost probably the same for all honda 4 cylinder models.
Are you sure wheel rotation and balance is included? coz they didnt do mine at 30000km service.
