Oil Change question....
I am getting my first Mobil 1 oil change, do I buy the mobil one and take it to the shop or find a shop that has mobil 1?
If I take the mobil one with me, does the oil change cost the same?
What type of oil filter should I use?

Most service centers will allow you to bring your own oil. I personally go to Honda dealer and ask for a oil change and request mobile 1 all the time. It's a little higher if you ask to use specific oil rather than the one they use. If you bring you own, the price may drop a few dollars. Not much tho.....

If you want to save money I understand that STP is the "cheapest, the same as all the other good filters". Note: Honda does make the best oil filter, however that one is only available in Japan, they carry two others in N.A. one for Canada and one for the US.

Do it yourself...it's not hard. Easiest way to do it is to jack up the right front side of the car...unscrew the 17mm bolt from the oil pan.....unscrew the oil filter..........wait 'till it just drips a bit then put the bolt back on and the new filter...take the jack off.....pour in four quarts of oil and check the dip stick. It's not hard...I'd help you if you needed it if you live in my area.
