B1 Service questions
So, I read a bunch of threads about it, mainly about how expensive this service is....
Since you guys are pretty knowledgeable, I want to ask, what's done during this service? $120 for a glorified oil change doesn't seem right (synth oil). Can I bring the car to the dealer and ask for ONLY the oil change? I bet that a change at one of those quick lube places will count, right? I just got new tires, so no need to rotate anything.
What else do they do to go from $60 (approx oil change) to $120 (B service)?

The RDX needs a Acura HTO-06 approved oil. Pennzoil Platinum and Mobil 1 5w-30 are the only two that are approved AFAIK.
The B service is just an oil change, tire rotation and inspections. The inspections are done to make sure that everything is in working order and that all maintenance is up-to-date.
You don't have to take it to the dealer, just take it to the service center of your choice. I go to Pep Boys sometimes, and they do a good job, at least the local one here. Their synthetic oil changes with Pennzoil Platinum and an upgraded filter is usually under $50.
