where to get oil changed?
i need to get an oil change, but with my car being real low, i don't know where to get it done at. i could do it at home, but i never have time with work and school. anyways, i'm leaving my car with my mom so she can get it changed and i will take her car to work. does any one know if the dealer or any other shop will change it so i can tell her where to take it too? my car is lowerd with neuspeed sport springs and has a kaminari front bumper with wings west sides and rear.

Rep Power: 306 DO NOT LEAVE THE CAR WITH YOUR MOM. Not saying anything bad about moms, I love mine. But most moms will not appreciate the gentle scraping of your lower spoiler being ripped off on the pit. Most pits have a 3 inch rail to prevent the tires from falling in. Is the lowest part of your car higher than 3 inches? Probably not.
Honda raises the entire car on a lift. IF you do not have side skirts, then it will be a lot easier, if you do, then it will be much harder.
I have to drive my car onto 2 x 12's then raise it with a floor jack. Then changing the oil and filter take about 20 minutes. But then I know I did it right with quality oil and yes I do use a new washer on the drain plug.
Plus, Jiffy Lube broke my air cleaner by overtightening the bolts. They paid for the broken air box, which did pay for my FIPK. The FIPK was a big improvement, so I am much better off.
At least Honda will be more responsible than Jiffy lube and the techs are actual techs, not merely guys paid minimum wage.
