1st service is free, no oil change.

Actually I found the first service on my CU2 quite amusing. I had it booked in first thing so I could wait for it (and keep an eye open on the car). There is a great position for seeing what is happening if toy know where to go. All that was done was my car was moved around to the rear parking lot where it was quite visible. It sat there for !/2 hour and all that was done was the service sticker on the windscreen was changed, they didn't even lift the bonnet. They then gave the car a very quick wash (i had given it a good wash the previous day) so the car was returned to me not as clean as when it arrived.

Oh well, nothing new in that and they will not see the car again as i will do all servicing personally from now on. It helps to be a licensed mechanic.

You're joking!So you say they didn't even lift the bonnet?A**holes.you should complain to the dealer and HA..Pity you didn't record it on your phone.

So I'm guessing the complimentry cash wash & vacuum gets the thumbs down?

buddah,where is your dealer?He sounds like 1 of 2 on the Gold coast that i've heard nothing but negative things about.

100% the bonnet was not lifted, no road test. all that was done was change the service sticker & give it a quicky wash, so in fact it was not as clean as when I took it there. The car was in sight the whole time while I was waiting.......they just didn't know I went up a side alley to watch......so I'm a cheeky old bugger.....lol

Dealer not on the gold coast.....about 700km north of there

No one touches my cars. I specifically tell them not to.

Why is that?

[buddah51au]

I will do my first oil change & filter at 5000km, then every 5000km after that. Maybe i will swith to full synthetic at 10,000km

I recall someone advising me on this forum that Honda use a special Run in oil, hence they do not require an oil change at 1000km Free service.... Which is probably why its free cos they do not change any oil etc.

I was thinking of replacing the Oil at about 5000km or there abouts as well, If not then i leave it till 10,000Km then use Fully Synthetic.

Is anyone able to confirm the Run in Oil that Honda use? Was this the same with the CL9's? and late models from honda?

[denot]

Hmmm from the log book of my Civic, on 1000kms doesnt stated any oil change. just make sure that everythin ok.

[Euro_CU2]

So maybe they did change the type of Oil they use for the run in..... So 10K change and not 1K oil change. Might ask a friend who works at the dealer if you knows..
