Everytime I call my Acura dealer their too busy for me for like a week.

Going to NYC tomorrow and dont feel like spending the weekend on the shitty ass dirty oil in my car.


Would I be a cheap whore if I just took my case of Mobil 1 to Jiffy Lube?

i take my car to grease monkey, but i have never been cheap enough to take my own oil to an oil place.

soopa

hehe, I use Mobil 1 Tri-Syntehtic... can't get it at any oil place. Nobody carries 5w30

CLUofI

well if they dont have the oil you want, then deffinatly take your own their, i am sure they would me more than willing to take your money.

haiduc

I used to take my car to a Mobil gas/service station. They used Mobil 1 synthetic. Maybe there's a Mobil station in your area?

Take your oil...who cares...but you might want to think about how they might screw you and put shit oil in and keep yours!

wayneg

Get your butt here before noon and my boys will take care of it

It really doesn't matter. Bring your own oil and just watch them change the shit; they'll be annoyed but f' em it's your car. They'll also try to tell you that you need to change your radiator fluid because it's old ands gonna corrode your raidator etc..just say no to all that BS and you'll be fine.

If you have an extended warranty (or plan to get one), just be sure to save the receipt(s)...

An oil change is an oil change.........as long as you use the same oil, what does it matter if some grease monkey puts it in?

I would change my own oil, but to jack the car up takes to much time. Honda should put better jacks in their cars, like VW.

EricS

Change your oil yourself. The CLS is easy as hell to change, barely even have to jack it up. Will save yourself money, and a Jiffy Lube horror story.

Oils well that ends well. As long as they know what they are doing (and almost all do), and are useing the Oil/Filter you are happy with, go for it..

Heh... just called my local dealers service department like 10 times until one of the guys was finally like "ya we can see you at 3". lol

This car is so easy to do yourself. Unless you're FAT, you can slide under it to drain the oil and then you can easily access the oil filter by turning the wheels all the way to the right. The filter is almost already in the wheel well.

You're a lazy f'ing panty-wearing 'ho if you don't do it yourself. It takes literally 15 minutes.

Soopa, you WILL have to put some clothes on - ghetto or no ghetto...

Now that's quality service!

just make sure they replace the crush washer........if not it will be reused and eventually leak

EricS is right. It's very easy to change oil and filter on a CL. Just jack up the front right corner up a bit and you can reach under the car. I use a 2 qt. yogurt container to catch the oil filter and drippings. My dealer gave me a free oil and filter change and overfilled the crankcase. I use Mobil 1 5w-30 and Purolator PureOne oil filter no. PL14459. $ 5.99 at Pepboys. Very well made oil filter with excellent oil flow. Do something yourself for your car. The car and you will feel good. It'like therapy. Good Luck!

Be careful and don't put too much torque on the drain plug when you retighten. Some lady was at the dearler with a bent oilpan after an ol change. Don't know if it was a Cl but sounds like a nightmare.

Find an independent mechanic thas specializes in japanese cars. Build a relationship. Not only will you have someone you can trust but it sure takes the edge off paying for repairs. If you keep reciepts your warranty will be intact.
