Replying to: ateixeira (Aug 28, 2008 6:06 am) Does that still apply in modern engines? I know back in the "good old days" that was the reason for doing an oil change at 1000 miles or so.

Replying to: bodble2 (Aug 28, 2008 9:38 am) Just a theory. I'm sure Acura is going to err on the careful side, to protect their engine (and reputation). |

My service light went on at about 4k miles - time for first oil change. When I called the dealer, they said it costs $89!!! Why so much? Can I just go to Jiffy Lube and do a change for $20? Is it any special kind of oil that only Acura can do the change? -Mark

Replying to: johnny98 (Sep 23, 2008 3:52 pm) Or simply recommended..?? I always use Mobil 1 but I'm quite sure the only short term advantage is slightly improved FE (maybe...) and possibly (???) extended engine component life long term, say beyond 150,000 miles. ALL engine lubricating oil is made from molecules resulting from the big bang eons ago.
