im due for an oil change soon. I plan on bringing it to the dealer for an oil change. WOuld it be cheaper for me to bring my own oil and filter? where do you guys buy "honda" branded oil & filter

MrOtocinclus

Probably not, especially if you're going for Honda branded. The dealers buy barrels of oil at a time, and gain the price benefits of doing so.

I use a Honda/Acura oil filter but bring my Mobil 1 syn.

I use Purolator filters which are cheaper and better than Honda filters. For oil, I usually get Mobile 1 from Costco (when there's a $9 off coupon) or go to WalMart for the 5qt. I change my own oil and it's quicker than going to a dealer if you factor travel and wait time.

I figure an oil change costs me about $25 with Synthetic. and good PureOne filter which isn't bad.

MrOtocinclus

Excellent choice. I, too, am a Purolator/Mobil 1 man.

Exact same thing I've been doing the past ten years

Yea I usually do M1 from Walmart and PureOne from advance/autozone. Though sometimes Advance will have good Mobil 1 with Mobil filter deals

My dealer pays for the oil changes on my car. That said, I've heard great things about HAMP oil filters (which are used on Acuras/Hondas).
