took the wife's RDX in for the first service (oil change) and they found a sidewall cut on the passenger front tire and bit of rim rash. So much for a inexpensive service - but a good catch from the dealers service dept.

 

What did you have them do and what did it cost?

 

oil change $70, new tire $285, probably could of went somewhere else and got one but I was there

 

Seems pretty pricey, but time is $$

 

just scored a new (dealer takeoff) OEM wheel on eBay for $110 delivered

 

Great deal for a new rim. You may want to look into having the curb rashed wheel fixed as it will look good as new.

 

good idea - it's a minor scrape

 

Can anyone confirm that they replace the engine oil with 0W-20? My understanding is that 0W-20 is only available in full synthetic or blend, which is more expensive. Some places (yes some dealers) just put conventional 5W-20. It should say on the invoice what kind of oil is used.

 

I had the oil in my wife's 2016 RDX changed (along with other items) and had the work done by a Honda/Acura mechanic in his driveway. He used 0W-20 Mobil 1 Synthetic.

 

I have WalMart put in Mobil 1 0W-20. I don't believe non-synthetic oil is available in 0W. By the oil minder, you're only replacing oil every 8,000-10,000 miles, so cost isn't that big a deal.
