Oil Change instructions for Women:
1) Pull up to Iffy Lube when the mileage reaches 10,000 miles since the last oil change.
2) Drink 2 cups of coffee.
2a) they tell you it needs a tranny flush. They put in Dexron not ATFZ1
2b) They say your PSF is low so they'll top it up with PSF

3) 15 minutes later, write a check and leave with a properly maintained vehicle.
4) Drive home, find a big puddle under the car.
5) On way back to Iffy lube, engine is now seized.
6) Get cell phone
7) Tow car to dealer
8) Dealer says no longer under warranty
9) Afraid to tell dealer you used Iffy lube and avoided using them.

Remember places like these have a target "average" invoice per customer that is substantially more than an oil change. So they go out of their way to raise the bill. Somehow, you always need an air filter, transmission flush, windshield wipers, steering flush or something else. If you do need it and decide to use their services. Don't stay in the car when they do the work. Jump outside and watch them to make sure they do it properly. You can sip their coffee standing and watching.

My mother-in-law went to Jiffy Lube once. They didn't tighten her drain plug properly (and didn't use a washer either). Luckily she noticed he oil pressure dropping before all the oil leaked out. I will NEVER use places like that.

I do have done my own oil changes, but when I can do them at the Acura dealer for only $24.95, there doesn't seem to be much of a saving to do it myself. They are guaranteed to do a good job, use geniune honda filters, genuine honda oil, if they screw up they fix it, and finally I dont have to clean up the mess. I ask myself why I should bother.

I spend about $30 for each of my oil changes. I'm not really saving too much money over having it done at a dealership or whatever, but MY oil changes use 5 quarts of Royal Purple 5W-30 and a honest-to-goodness NSX oil filter.
