Where Do you go for Oil Change?
This might be a dumb question to ask but, it's winter and I don wanna freeze my *** off trying to change oil by my self so I just like to know where do you go for an oil change.
I went to Penzol couple times to get an oil changed and other times I did it by my self. I put 5W20 oil and I think Penzol costs about $45 for an 5w20 oilchange.
Penzol
Approx $45 for Oil and Filter change
Drive Thru, almost no wait. takes approx 15 min
Built Underground so people with Bodykit dont have to worry about their kit getting scratched.
EDIT : Oh yeah, please include the price and Time you have to wait for

the mister lube in Belles Corners is really good..
can't remember pricing (depends on what you use) but you never have to wait very long at all.

Rep Power: 316 Well its a good question to me...I need to do my very first oil change...1 do i go to honda 2 do it myself 3 Go to Lube place...
If I Do it Myself what oil do I buy and where..I dont want it costing 45 Bucks for an oil change...Id pay max 30 bucks thats it..
So what should i do?? I actually like doing stuff myself cuz of my garage but i hear that the civic oil filter is a biatch to get off not like Camry filters where they are just in front of you in an upright angle so that when you turn off the engine and take off the filter there is no mess..
OK nuff said what should I do

Rep Power: 329 best and cheepest otion do it your self, its nor hard, the filter is a little weird to get too, but not impossible. but VIPER, being your car is so new, i suggest the first few times u do it at honda.
John, dont be lazy and do it yourself, just find a garage. if not, Lube Exprese it your sebt bet, u drive in, tell them what u want, while in your car they change your oil, and your out of there in 10 minutes.

Rep Power: 539 I would say that if you can't do it yourself or don't have your own garage to do it in then just take it to a drive through.

Rep Power: 0 lol I was gonna go to my buddy's shop and do it for free so I went to Canadian Tire to buy some oils and went to the auto department to ask around the price of changing the oll. This lady made a mistake and got me price for cheapest oil change
so I got the oil and filter changed (5W20!!) for $29 including tax
and no I dont think it's synthetic oil they use it in Penzol
(it's more expensive cause it's 5w20 not 5w30)
I donno about older models (2001,2002) but from 2003, Honda started using 5W20 ONLY
