How much for a compression/leak test?
I don't know if I'm just paranoid or if my intuitions are correct but it seems like my car is lacking the power it once had. I just changed my oil a couple weeks ago and it still seems abnormal.
How much does it cost to get a compression test/leak down test? Any where in particular? Do I need to take it to Honda?
Thanks in advance,
Bryan

$30 for kit(easy to do). $45 or more to pay someone to do it. Are you burning oil?
And if I was burning oil? What would be the problem?

Well if the rings are worn, you will start burning oil. And a compression test will tell you if the rings are worn. I would start with that. Maybe there will be another dyno day soon...
