It's almost time for me to make the first fluid change . I've already bought the fluids but now I'm getting a little hesitant about doing it myself because of possible warranty issues.
My question is for those owners who bought new. Did you use the dealership or an independent garage or did you do it yourself?
If not the dealership or a garage, how do we prove that the change was actually done and how does Honda view this practice?
If it only requires reciepts, and a DIY entry into the supplied service journal, I'd prefer to do it myself however , I purcahsed the fluids within a week of buying the car so dates of receipts might not be acceptible.
Hope I made my post clear enough for all to understand my concern over this issue and also hoping for some knowledgable advice. TIA

 

Don't worry about warranty issues. As long as the oil is changed on time and if the oil you bought is 10W-30, then you are covered. The warranty problem is if you never change the oil at all and after 20k-30k miles you are having oil related engine failure then Honda can deny warranty.

 

I do it myself to make sure it done right. Just pass 4200 miles and did my 1st oil and diff fluid change.
I kept the receipts and a log of when I did the fluid changes just in case there is a problem later.
