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?

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...
PS - The manager there (Jim) is a SUPER cool guy... Treat him right and he'll treat you right...

Shoot! dont do it with jack stands, if anything go a buy a set of low profile ramps at Auto Zone and do the job in a safe manner. You can get them in heavy duty plastic or steel ramps
