Where To Do Oil Change

I was about to go to my Honda dealership service department, but just found out they're closed on Sundays. Any recommendations? I'm thinking of going to Jiffy Lube, but I heard something about generic filter??

Best place is in your garage. Go pick up some Motorcraft 5w20 and a Purolator filter and you're all set.

Why don't you go to the dealership when they're open (Mon-Sat)

Yeah, I agree...nothing like the satisfaction of doing it yourself...been changing my own oil in my cars for 7 years now!!

Don't go to Jiffy Lube. I don't trust the generic filter and oils they use. And they probably don't even use that crush washer for the drain plug, which our cars need.

If you don't mind paying a bit more, take it to your dealer. My dealer uses Castrol GTX 5w20 for our Civics, a genuine Honda filter, and they give me 50% off of a full-service car wash down the street, which makes the entire oil change come out to around $20

Or, if you can, best choice is to do it yourself.

What bout Firestone? are they worthy to go to? I went to one for my last oil change ..and it was so cheap like $15 and I feel like I didn't get quality oil.... the car felt a lil slower after i went to that place.
