Best place to buy oil?
 
Online or any parts stores? Where do you prefer to buy from? Best prices as well maybe? Time for an oil change, just looking around :tup:

Walmart or autozone or online if you want Amsoil. Gallon of Mobile 5W20 synthetic for about $25 bucks.

advance auto has good deals on mobil 1 sometimes. 5 quarts mobil 1 and mobil 1 filter for $29. I end up with an extra quart, but I always find a use for it, or use it on my next oil change.

believe it or not, you CAN get just oil & a filter (w/ new plug washer) from your local Honda dealership. They dont have to change your oil, but they'll probably offer to- just go straight to the parts dept or counter and make the order.

this may not apply to most of you guys; just wanted to post another option. I find that OEM can cost as cheap as car stores, depending on brand. you know, just an fyi for those less picky/technical about their oil

Re: Best place to buy oil?
 
cool.. yea ill probably just hit up autozone or advance.

i used to get my oil done by a buddy of my for free at jiffy lube.. i wouldnt trust jiffy lube themselves changing my oil, but a good friend of mine hooks me up with the fully synthetic for free..

but now i live else where so i have to change my own again, oh well.. just looking for the deals.. thanks guys keep em comin!

but for the same price, why not get a better oil? like maxlife? which is better than that oem stuff....

Re: Best place to buy oil?
 
is maxlife really good stuff? i never hear too much about it.. ive had that castrol synthetic stuff put in my car for the past few changes from the jiffy lube..

Re: Best place to buy oil?
 
yeah its good stuff. they changed the label i think and it has more white in it now. advance auto is not on the west coast tho, its in almost every state except ca,nv and a few others.
