eh i drive 02 sedan 4cyl. it has about 17000mi on it... which is pretty low i guess...

its about time for me to get an oil change, i used to go to honda dealer...

but now im getting lazy and dont wanna spend extra money...

there r two places near to change ma oil, valvoline and jiffylube

wut brand does jiffylube use??? and which one should i go?

p.s... no.. i wont do it at home....

 

how much do u pay when u go to the dealership? IMO just do it ur self or just stick w/ honda cuz anything goes wrong their to blame

 

last time honda charged me... about 30 dollars i think.l.

pretty high?? and it was .... chevron coastal????? brand

btw... do jiffylube and valvoline require appointment?

 

you from hawaii bro? See the pigeonz coming out

 

I second that.

 

Make that a third! It's such an EASY bit of maintainance to do and will save you a nice bit of cash over time. Plus you get to know something about your car besides which pedal is the gas and which is the brake.

 

All of those places will try and sucker you into things you dont need. When I had my old accord they tried to flush my radiator or sell my max life oil everytime I went in there. It goes from a $20 oil change to a $60 ordeal if your not careful. Now I do it on my own. Just learn how and youll save yourself a lot of hassle.

 

ya'll dont no wut jiffy uses?? is valvoline good?


if u do it at home...
dont u also have to like refill brake fluids and other stuff by urself too?



is doing it at home easy?

heat it up -> lift -> take old filter out? and drain oil out -> put new filter back in -> put oil in -> DONE?


thats it??? and how do u guys dispose used oil????????

 

You can probably find the answers to all these questions by searching here or even general automotive forums.

But here's some quick answers:

Brake fluid doesn't really need regular filling. You can monitor the level, but seriously...adding brake fluid is as easy as putting gas in the car. You just don't want to spill any...it'll take paint off.

Other stuff like air filter, etc my wife could do.

Look in your owners manual to find out what items should be serviced and at what intervals.

You can take old oil to pretty much any auto parts store for disposal.

 

If you're lazy, then you don't want to change it yourself! Hehe. I've used valvoline and they were just fine. Just don't let them suckker you into buying crap you don't need.
