[B]Actually, from what ive seen, normal is for people who drive mostly high-way, no extremely high or low temps, no stop and go, no long periods of idling (anything over 15 min), trips longer than 30 min.

 

Normal simply means you don't fall into the severe category. Go down the list, and if you say no to all the severe attributes, you're normal.

 

One of the biggest problems with a new car can be dealer service! (IMHO)

 

1) I know I need to jack it up
2) I know I need a honda filter.

Please feel free to comment. [/B][/QUOTE]


Don't use a Honda filter:

Now I can't use a Honda

 

I use a Honda filter. I tape the UPC barcode in my record book every time. Along with the used crush washer and symbols from each quart of oil.

I can't wait for a dealership to challenge my warranty coverage!!!

 

With my PRM intake, I can change the oil (and the filter, of course), from the top of the engine...

 

Question about this crush washer. I went and picked one up at my dealer. All it is, is a little metal washer? For some reason I thought it would be rubber or something?

I got it for .23 as I get wholesale pricing on honda parts.

Did I get the right thing?

Filter - 4908182 15400-poh-305 - $5.60
washer - 0171876 94109-14000 - .23
