let me know you guys, this is the first time imma be getting it changed, i wanna know of a place, that is good, and is relatively reasonable, and ofcorse the closer the better....
thanks in advance!!!

 

If you're up for a drive out to Algonquin, I'll do it for you. Just bring the fluids, filter, and some beer (actually Jack Daniels, these days).

Otherwise, check out Pinyo over at P and L Motorsports in Franklin Park, or Jason over at Suja1 in Carol Stream.

 

if you have the space to do it, i would highly recommend doing it yourself (or get help from a board member like urmil). the first time you do either will be a bit cheaper than if you went to the dealer (depending on what tools you need to buy)...and any subsequent changes will be much cheaper. plus you have the peace of mind that the dealer didn't screw anything up!

 

give me a pm... ill gladly do it for you for a small fee..

 

filter

 

Yeah....the headlight fluid filter. Duhhh!

Actually, I read too quickly and just assumed he wanted help with all fluid change; including motor oil. That's why I added "filter' to the list.

 

alright will do so urmil,
what kinda fluids would you guys recommend??

byt he way, i do need an oil change as well!!!

let me know when your available.....

 

My fluids of choice are:
engine: Chevron Supreme 10W-30 with Honda PCX filter
tranny: Redline MTL
rear diff:LE-607

Only use LE-607 if you store your car during the winter, otherwise Redline 75W-90 or Mobil 1 75W-90 are good choices. Redline MTL is fine for year-round use, I used to use Honda MTF and that wasn't too bad either. You have lots of choices for engine oil, I've decided on the Chevron since its available at a very good price and still provides excellent protection. Some people will swear by synthetic motor oils, but conventional oils have become so good they now protect nearly as well. Pretty much the only advantage to synthetic engine oils are extended drain intervals.
