Is 0w20 oil available anywhere else but the honda dealer? Thats the price I pay for Mobil One for my other car.

Also, how do you remove the 'shield' under the car to get to the oil drain plug?

 

My dealer guy said that the Honda stuff is made by Mobil 1 so he said just use that.

 

Are you saying the 0-20w oil at the Honda dealer ship is Mobil ONE synethic oil?

 

And, Lord knows, the dealer wouldn't lie! Unless his lips were moving.

To remove the shield, use a straight edged screwdriver and gently twist the head in the one of the two grooves. The head of the fastener will release out about 1/2 inch, then pull the fastener.

If the car is on ramps, you may be able to get by with unfastening only the front six fasteners. Just fold it back after that, there is a crease there.

Be sure to have a crush washer available, as you will need a new one to replace the one you are removing.

I use Mobil 0w20, synthetic in my '04 HCH. I stocked up on it a year ago at $5.29 per quart.

 

How many quarts does an HCH2 require?

 

Where did you get the Mobile One 0w20? I can't find it anywhere but the Dealer.

 

You can get Mobil1 0-20 at Walmart, about $5.70 locally.

Read Page 242 of the manual!

It says "3.4 US quarts including filter"
............"3.2 US quarts without filter "

 

What's the stealer want on average for an oil change?

Also, if you DIY does the meter need to be reset or is it an automatic thing?
