Taking my baby in for her first oil change :)

Taking her to Northeast Acura @ 2:30 . Mods already completed: Eibach pro-kit and Injen intake. Let's see what the dealership has to say about em'. If they give me any problems about it, I'll have to look somewhere else for service.

I'm a little curious - you've put on a kit and added an intake, but you don't change your own oil??

I don't trust myself with that, not yet at least.

Just don't change your oil like the SRT guy and you'll be fine.

I'm taking my car in for an oil change too, its free from my dealer and having the TSB checked out as well. Mine's highly modded so we'll see what they say.

I just went to Radley this past friday and I guess oil changes are free for everyone because I sure as hell didn't buy my car there, but they didn't charge me a dime for it. I was surprised as hell to not have to pay for it, but hey, if they don't wanna charge me, I'm fine with not paying.

I hope mine's free! I do want them to check out the suspension just to make sure everything is kosher....especially with that damn rattling sound I get...the one I still haven't been able to pinpoint.


Can't say that I'd do something like SRT guy did, but I'd probably forget to buy oil before draining. So I'd have to scrounge around for a ride to pick up oil.

This is great! I can still check out the forums while at the dealership. I've been waiting for 50 minutes so far....I can see my car outside, but no one has come to get me yet.

Looks like everything is fine. There was no mention of the mods and I was told that everything looks good. Oil change was free since it was my first....but only this time. When I was leaving, there was a stock CG TSX and I have to say I like having the car dropped and the addition of the body kit. Makes the car look much more aggressive.

But a man's gotta do what he has to do! He was getting owned by his car! Couldn't let the car defeat him!

Actually, I think I saw that in a Haynes manual one time:

"If you still cant get that bolt off, then beat the shit out of your car using the following methods:

1. Run your car with no oil pressure."

I did mine at 600 miles. Thats why its called "breaking in" an engine. Lots of crap floating around after the break in period. This was all based off of things I have read.
