I would think twice about taking the car to the dealer for service. My
inlaws were charged $3 for the nearly free crush washer, $3.50/qt for the
Pennzoil, and $10 for the (Fram) Honda filter. They also got hit with
labor.... it was included in a "package" for Xk miles. I could have bought
the "genuine Honda" filter and washer for $3.25 total and gotten the
Pennzoil at an auto parts store for $1.50/qt or less.
