yeh, if you paid money to the dealer to buy your oil, you basically
just spent about 40% or more money on the same thing you can get
from Autozone. just use the weight recommended by Honda: 5W-20.
If you're doing regular dino oil just use the one on sale and change
every 4-5k miles. with the filter and crush washer, should cost
you no more than maybe $14-15. (4 bottles $1.25-$3 each)
If youre gonna do synthetic, try the Mobil1 with silver cap which
are readily available anywhere. (4 bottles, about $5-6 each).
I use synthetic up to 10k miles or 1 year. first change from
dino oil, i change around 8k.
keep an extra bottle to top off, as needed. be sure to target
the center of the dipstick. better to have less oil than too much.
some dealers have newbs doing oil changes and go over the full
mark. :Mad:
