Hye guys, its time for my first oil change on my CBR1000rr ... How much were you charged on your 600 mile oil change??? The dealership wants to charge me $260.00 + taxes...

 

oil change= approx $12 and 20 min of time in your own garage or driveway
Drain plug, filter removal and refill. Easy and quick. Sounds as if this dealer is fairly expensive even with "inspections" that may be done during the service visit.

 

$180 tax include it

 

i paid 118 from a different dealer than i bought my bike.. .my dealer wanted 180

 

LoL - your dealer's wife better be blowing ya if they want to charge ya $260 for an oil change

+10 on what Christhek said

 

yeah.....

30-40 minutes of your time.....free
HP4(Synth no moly)...............4 qts(takes 3.3qts)@ $6.95/qt = $28
OEM filter............................ $10
Drain Plug Washer................ $0.50 from dealer
2 beers waiting on it to drain...$2.50

knowing you did it RIGHT.....have no leaks.....didnt strip the oil-bolt orany fasteners or break any fairing tabs or scratch any plastic....or a mechanic-squid ragging out your bike up and down the side-road to "check" it........PRICELESS

putthe $220 you saved towards go-fast goodies or riding gear....

and before someone starts flaming....NO i dont hop on and ride after the beers...i just crank it up, let it get to temp to make sure i have no leaks before i put the fairing back on...

 

Decided to do the oil change by my self... which will be the best oil for me to use??? and should i buy all Honda products??

 

as long as it doesnt void the warranty, id do it myself. i know some dealerships make you get your first servicethere or they void the warranty

 

I did mine myself, and it was easy. There's a guy on here that posted some pics that help me out. One good advice that he gave was coving up the engine area with aluminum foil before changing the filter. keeps things clean..

 

It is going to void the warrenty/.. i know that.. Thats why i wasthinking about it,,
