TSX vs. Accord

Ok, my TSX is coming up on its first oil change, I would like to know if there is sufficient parts carry over and similarity to the Accord of the same year, that a Honda dealership can competently provide an oil change on my car.
My reason for using such is the Acura dealership is about 90 minutes from me and are a bunch of high volume s#!t can a-holes! Anyway can it be done at the Honda place or should I plan on changing it myself with my other 3 vehicles. Thanks for the help.

Any shop should be able to provide an oil change as its a very basic task. I personally say just to do it yourself so you know its done well and no mistakes are being made.

Peace

I assume Canada and the US are the same, but I've had all my TSX services done at Honda, not Acura.

You can get your service done at a Honda dealer. If you are buying parts from your car, you can get the exact same part for less at a Honda dealer than at an Acura dealer. Acura dealers mark items up so that you get that "luxury" feeling, but all of the parts will be in Honda-labeled bags.

Yep, this is exactly how they sell the cars too. I made a pic if anyone is confused about what he is talking about
