oil change.
i am due for a oil change soon and i was planning on taking her in for a change at los gatos acura, cause i have some warentee work that need to be done also.
i was gonna bring my own oil and filter in with me, they said they will charge 22.00 for the change if i brought my own supplies in. Seem reasonable?
also i want to get mobil one oil and filter. what grade should i use? and what size filter?
should i go synthetic? i have about 13,000 miles. and if i do go sythentic do i need to do anything prior to the change or is it like any other oil change?

I now drive an accord....
Wow my dealer charges $24 and that includes oil and filter. You can't really compare prices from diffrent area's but $22 with your own stuff seems a little high

You dont need anything done to be able to use synthetic oil. Just change it. I think 22.00 for taking yur supplies is somewhat high. It cost about 26.00 to get oil and filter only. U can get synthetic oil changes for about 40.00 at the lube stations. If I were you just DIY and just take the car in for warranty service.

asloudasitgets: That's a great price... Los Gatos Acura charges around $100/hour for labor so you are getting a STEAL at $22 with bring your own oil...
