My local dealership is having a summer sale on a lifetime oil change for $199.95. The deal is that I receive a oil change every 3,000 miles or every 3 months. It doesn't say that it includes an oil filter, but I can only assume that it does until I contact the dealer.

My question is this:

What kind of oil does Acura use, and is it worth it to purchase? The way I figure it, as long as my car isnt stolen or wrecked, it will more than pay for itself by the time my ownership is up.

...

They are also having a filter special if I choose not to go with choice number one. 20% of air, fuel and oil filters. When does everyone change their fuel filters (I don't have my manual with me )?

go for it

 

If you live in a low ITR theft rate area, then it might be worth it.

But having fixed interval oil changes sucks ***.

My local Acura dealer charges $20 USD per oil change and that include a free car wash. I take full advantage of this deal in the winter since I don't have a heated igloo (Canada, eh?).

 

I will probably go for it, but I'm still interested in what oil Acura uses?

Also, when do you change the fuel filter?

 

i change mine every 10,000 miles i think the manual calls for every 30,000 or 60,000 not sure

 

I know of some honda dealers in So Cali use mobil oil by the bulk,if you want genuine Honda oil or synthetic is extra,just ask the parts manager,counter guys dont know jack ****.

 

Go to the dealer and ask what oil they use. They all use different brands bought by the drum.
