Why dont you try Honda. Plus if you buy your own synthetic oil, it's alot cheaper.

I've always taken my Acura's to Acura of Bellevue. I do normal 5-30w oil not synthetic. On occasion I have gone to Acura of Seattle but I always go to a dealership rather than a 3rd party (ie Jiffy Lube, ...)

for that $60 you could probably buy the tools one time and save money in the long run. I've seen plenty of people change their oil in the parking lots for dorm residents.

Got free oil changes for the life of the car at Ron Tonkin Acura,

so I had never had to go anywhere to change my oil, but I've heard

Oil Can Henrys is great

Not sure if there is one in Seattle.

yeah, just to let you know the dealership is definitly not the most qualified to change your oil.... Just the most expensive... i got a little ad from my dealer, they said they will be more than willing to change my oil for the low price of 29 bucks..

Lucky me..

One 5 qts container of Mobil 1 synthetic at Walmart = $20. One Mobil 1 oil filter at Auto Zone = $11. One drain plug washer from dealer = $0.25. Total parts = $31.25 + tax. Your labor = $0.00. It's a much better deal, not to mention you know it would be done right.
