I had the car jacked up when I was painting the calipers, and I noticed where the filter is located, I immediately thought what a pain!! So I'm guessing you changed yours?
When again is the first scheduled oil change?

my dealership, Palm Beach Acura does it for free the first time, does anyone else's do this?
plus i was wondering, the free tires for life, is that an Acura thing or a dealership thing?

I changed mine at 3400K and the oil was really dirty.

I've gotta start driving more, or it'll be 2004 before I need my first oil change!

Since the 3rd generation Accords--what I mean are the 86-89 series--, the oil filters have been a royal pain to change. I change my oil and filter every 2500 miles. I don't know if the sense is real or psychological, but the motor always seem to purr extra nicely after an oil change.

My dealership does it for free the first 2 times and will offer a 3rd free if you attend a new owner's clinic.
By the way, I just went to the dealership to change oil and filter at exactly 5K miles. The car runs a little smoother and I noticed that the brakes feel stronger.

I had Ed Voyles here in Atlanta change my oil at 4500 miles. I think this is a good round number as I tend to drive quite a bit, so I'll get it changed no later than 5000 miles. They only charged me 23.99 for the oil change, which is cheaper than any other place out there (like Jiffy Lube and what not). Plus, I just feel a little more comfortable with them doing it...and normally it's time for other maintenance on the scheduled maintenance book as well, so i can get it all done with one stop into the dealership.

the oil suppose to be dirty because good oil will keep particle away from engines and keep them suspend... bad oil do nothing, and good oil lubricate and cleaning........ is removing oil filter harder then 94-2002 accord?
