A1 Service - Dealer or Local Garage?

Any need for taking 2015 RDX AWD Tech to the dealer for it's first oil change/tire rotation? Dealer is not very close/convenient.

Does it effect warranty at all?

Thx

Do what is recomended, use what is recomended (oil weight), and save receipt and you are good to go.

You can go to the dealer, an indy shop or do it yourself. If not done at the dealer, then you should keep detailed notes of what was done. Receipts for fluids and parts that shows exactly what you used will preserve your warranty if an issue arises.

You can also go to a Honda dealer if more convenient. They have the same parts, tools and training but are usually far cheaper.

Good advice ceb. My Acura and Honda dealers have the same owners, Honda dealer is cheaper and the snacks are the same. Only difference is the Honda dealer can't/won't do Acura warranty work.
