1st Euro Service Advise

[REV888]

Putting im my car for its 1st service (1000km) in the morning.


Anything I should mentioned to service deparment to check up on ?

Also think I should change oil filter ? as in the service guide there is no mention of chaneg of filter.

Thanks Guys

Yes i would get it changed as well, which dealer are you going to get it done at ?

[aaronng]

Yeah, change the oil filter. At Rick Damelian, they recommend that you change the oil filter at 1000km.

Hornsby Honda

I wouldn't change the oil filter at the first service, the mineral oil helps break in the engine. Just stick to the service manual and you can't go wrong.

Yes I did get my Oil Filter Changed I did so by request,

I asked so many questions to fix and change things on my 1st service make sure you make a list of all the thinks you wont to be done on the 1st service as it is done almost for free all I paid for was the oil and filter + also got the foggys installed to.

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...

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.

Other questions I asked was:

1.To fix seatbelt on passenger side would not click in correctly.

2. Change a set of bulbs for me which they did not do Even though they were the correct size they said they did not fit

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.

[stephen8512]

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 and with the passenger seatbelt, no dramas atm..

but thanks again for the info 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!

throw away the big black flat bit and cut the other peice so its just smaller than your plate. You need this bit (as seen on the right below) as it shaped so the plate sits flat against the bumper.

I did have to lower (ie plates sits higher) the mounting holes of the actual #plate, as i wanted the plate to sit totally above the bottom grill. If you dont want to drill your plate it will just sit a bit lower.

you need to then put it all back together. First screw black plastic back on then the plate to that.
