    Well... just had the 10,000 km service done today... t'was $200 and something cents.

    A bit dear for an oil change. On the other hand it's at the moment more convinient than elsewhere.

    Dude the 1000km is just inspection man they dont touch it i got my oil change n all dat at 10000k.

    All they do is inspect man.

    You can if you want ma man but theres no point.

    The Oil first hand is usually that special oil that is used to brake in your engine. Its pretty good its not like back in the day oils.

    If you do hard driving then maybe change it but youll be fine.

    Took me less than 5 days to hit 1000k n 2months to hit 10000k.

    I was like 2 months early for the service n my FN2 is doin fine.

    After the 20k service it felt like brand new again.

    So wouldnt bother changin it man.

    Just had my 1000K service on the weekend, but actual KM's done is closer to 2000K. I asked the Honda guy if I can get the oil change as well, but he said that it uses a different oil to break in the engine and not to touch it until 6 months or close to 10K, which ever comes first.

    Yeh, Hannys is pretty cheap as I took my father inlaw's CRV for a 30K service and they charged $132.00 and they said its the same for my Civic. Im still thinking I might bring it to a Honda dealer for the first 50K. Honda dealer in Blacktown quoted me $175 so I might bring it there for the 10K service.

    yeah they charged abou $120-$130 for my DC2 for servicing. Roughly about the same, but $175 from the blacktown dealer is not too bad, its about $50 difference and probably better for you logbook. Is that Trivett, dont recall if they had a dealer there?

    Don't forget the handbrake replacement when you are there.
