Dealerships cost a bit more and i dont even know if they do it any better than small shop grease monkeys! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

MY DEALERCHARGES 20 BUCKS ALSO BUT WHY PAY WHEN YOU CAN DIY... SUCH AN EASY JOB... BESIDES NOT ONLY DO YOU SAVE MONEY BY DIY, YOU ALSO GET THA SATISFACTION THAT IT IS DONE RITE... NO ONE LOVES YOUR CAR AS MUCH AS YOU DO AND NO ONE WILL DO AS GOOD OF WORK ON YOUR CAR AS YOU WILL...

I always go to the honda dealer. It is only 20 bucks which is less than jiffy lube. Plus, when you go to sell the car one day far off in the distant future, you will get more for it if you have receipts from the honda dealer.

Plus, changing the oil yourself isn't bad but disposing of the old oil is a pain to say the least. Well, not if you just dump it in your backyard like an idiot.

a friend of mine has a shop that I can use if I ever want to change my oil myself, but I will take my car to the dealer and pay them for now. maybe when my car is a little older I will do it myself.
