B1767 = 5 litres of FEO 10w30 Honda motor oil full retail is $29.95 over the counter at your local Honda Spare parts dept.

I just saw a invoice for oil that was charged to a retail and a fleet customer by a service department, it was $35.15. $30 - $40 im sure you would find is about average pricing for oil through the service depts.

The majority of service departments around the country buy their oil directly from the suppliers (castrol, caltex, mobil, whoever does the best deal), it is very rare for service to buy their oil through spare parts. The only time oil is ever supplied by spares is the Hybrid oil, which is 0 weight, and the normal service dept sourced oil (10w30) is unsuitable for Hybrid vehicles.

Of course oil bought in bulk is cheaper, that is how the service separtments make some more money!

You guys always have the option of supplying your own oil, it is usually cheaper to buy the genuine stuff from spares, and hand it directly to the service dept! And as long as genuine parts are used, your warranty will remain intact.
