What, like Honda fill it with from new you mean?
Agree'd about the independant though.
But if you're a low mileage driver then the extra for dealer history may be worth while. Try another dealer?

Either way, its still average compared to the fully synth ester based oil that is Silkolene Pro-S whether they put it in the car from new or not.

Oh no here we go - oil again.... bit of a controversial statement hypersonic that I think.
Ester based oil is not as good for people who do short trips, as when the engine starts to warm the condensation brakes ester based oil down faster therefor its not as good as other oils. Acidity in the oil is Bad!
The jury is stil out... you will never win an Oil debate. I think its personal prefference as there is nothing really to suggest a top semmi synth mineral oil will be out performed by a fully sythetic oil even if it is ester based or otherwise.
