yeah i just did the type C service for 32K and it was 170. they do a bunch of stuff for that service. Its mostly checking / inspecting though. So i guess they just look at stuff. But i know that they tightened my handbrake.

My Honda dealership only charges $27 for an oil/filter change but I do the oil changes myself. My last oil change I put in Mobil 1 full synthetic.... runs awesome.

BTW... most shops will take your old oil for a small fee.

change your oil.....put it back in the bottle and run it down to your local Speedy or Midas and drop it off.....In the middle of the night

I still goto honda and get sodomized by the bill!!

There was a thread before in a different section about what the best oil is for our cars.. Different people have different opinions, but I think they swore by AMSoil.. Not sure which grade though! I think it was the same thread that they conversed about the best plugs also..
