I highly recommend you take your vehicle to a Honda dealership for your oil change. You should forge a relationship with your dealership because if you always take your vehicle there they will be more likely to find a problem before it becomes an issue. They get to know your vehicle and they keep all the records on their computer system. They will also call you when it's time to bring it in for a maintenance check. In our dealership we find those customers who bring their vehicles in to us always have their small problems caught early because we get to know their vehicles.
I think you'll find that they aren't anymore expensive then some of the quickie lube type places. You should also know that if something were to happen during or because of having your vehicle serviced other than a dealership it could (and I'm only saying - could) void your warranty. Is it really worth the couple of dollars you may or may not save to take that chance?
As for the frequency of the oil change - though you may not have reached the recommended mileage it also depends on how long ago you in fact purchased the vehicle. If for instance you purchased your 2007 a year ago and even though you've only driven it 6km it is should be taken in for an oil change. So while I agree with the previous poster about waiting until "it" tells you to change your oil you should also consider the length of time since your last one.
Maintaining your Honda regularly not only keeps your warranty in good standing it also helps to retain "value". It's a well known fact that Honda's tend to hold value very well and when your go to sell it you will find that having a service record at a dealership is an added feature prospective buyers are looking for.
Just take it to a respectable lube place somewhere in town. Taking it to the dealer will cost you more and the service is not that much better. But you may want to take it to the dealer on the first change to change the break in fluids.When and where should I take my new Honda Accord for an oil change?
take it to dealer. more than likely there is a light that won't go off unless the dealer resets it. there is one on my moms 05 corolla.
I work for a GM dealership, which of course is not a Honda dealership, but GM is recommending that people wait until the "change engine oil" light comes on to change the oil. Actually, we are cheaper than the "quick lube" places in town. If you want genuine honda filters and parts used on your car I truely recommend you take it to the Honda dealership.When and where should I take my new Honda Accord for an oil change?
Even though Honda recommends oil changes every 7,500 or so miles, I always and very religiously change my Honda's oil every 3,000 miles.
You can take it anywhere, but be advised that some companies such as Jiffy-Lube and SpeeDee have been written up in the Better Business Bureau, which means that they have provided poor quality service to their customers. Pay no more than $30.
Ask around town for suggestions on an oil change place.
most places that change oil for a living use the buzz words warranty approved,also the are meticulious at looking at everything for any service they can sell you
Take it to a Honda Dealership. They use better oil and care more for your car and won't do a crappy job because Honda Quality depends on good oil.
