Hondas schedule only has you change the filter ever two oil changes or so. You can ask them to do it everytime. I change my own oil and change it everytime just to be safe.

Re: 09 dxg first oil change -no new filter ?

haha wow, almost no filter currently available lasts more than 7500k miles without clogging up. no way would it last for 2 oil changes. esp not the stupid honda (fram) filter.

Re: 09 dxg first oil change -no new filter ?

hey not a bad idea! i guess its good they actually changed the oil, alot of dealer just drive the car around for a while, park it, and say youre all done lol. its always good to check that theres clean oil inside cause you just never know what douches will do to a car that isnt theirs and they work on cars all day and dont care.
