Hi Kenny:

___Open up your manual and the service schedule is laid out for you.

___To save a bit of money, might I suggest you call around to a few Honda dealers and see what they will charge if you bring in your own Oil and Filter? The local Honda dealers all wanted at least $39.95 for a Hybrid oil change using whatever gold laced 0W-20 they wanted to use (if they would actually use 0W-20 which I highly doubt). I was a pure DIY’er until I asked the closest dealer what it would cost if I brought my own oil and filter in. $9.36 was the reply. It isn’t worth my time to mess with it at that price so I simply bring in 3 Qt’s of Mobil1 0W-20 Tri-syn (Honda Insight’s only use 2.5 Qt’s per change) and a Super Tech filter. 30 minutes later, I am on my way.

___Good Luck
