The service techs seem pretty anal about using the crush washers on the hondas. Every honda I've owned has always used the washer. You can buy a bunch at your local auto store.

My LX coupe (MT) had its first oil change this weekend. I dumped it early, like I have all new vehicles I've purchased. It had a thousand miles on it. Plenty of semi-high revs (4-5.5K), plenty of 80-90 mph on the highway, seemed like it was time to get it out of there.

But what's this 3.9 quarts stuff??? Granted, my car was plenty hot when I changed the oil, so the oil was very thin, plus the breakin oil is usually thin, and I let it drain till it was slowly dripping out, so I must have gotten all of it out of there. But at 4 quarts, it's showing up on the dipstick a little over half. Anyone seen this before? What are everyone's dipstick experiences?
