The torque wrench’s that Honda supplies don’t have to be set every time. The yellow torque wrench is permanently set at 30lb-ft for drain plug. It also prevents some one from over tightening the drain plug. Also this guy does not know how to use the torque wrench properly, you should only let the wrench click once. Pulling the wrench multiple times over tightens to increases the torque applied to the fastener.
While inspecting things are important, you need to understand that what they are really doing is looking for things they can fix and overcharge you on. For example, that engine air filter in the beginning is simple to replace by unclipping some clips and buying a new one if dirty. A lot of dealerships will take advantage of customers not knowing what an engine filter is or how easy it is to replace it and will charge $50-$100 sometimes for a filter which would cost your around $19.95 at most and a couple minutes of your time to replace. Even better, buy a reusable K&N engine air filter and you will save even more money over time.
I agree 99% of everything what you said, except for the K&N air filter. OEM paper filters have very fine particulate filtration. Yes, the K&N does increase air flow, at the expense of dirty/harmful/dusty air entering the engine, acting like sandpaper.
I work at the dealer yes advisors don't tell the customers about the engine filters sometimes customer come to me For example dirty engine filter will cause running the car on rich fuel(burn more fuel) Clean one will run lean on fuel (More air and less fuel)
Just learned and started changing my own oil in my accord, found out the dealership who did my last oil change put the crush-washer the wrong side. So, I guess the answer is NOT always.
@@vinichi3014 - Correct. Where I live right know, in Belgium, maintenance by a dealer is recommended. They offer service assistance for free, also the service history adds value. Pinching pennies doesn't always help. There's more than just changing oil.
Yeah, especially the garbage Acura dealership I took my 2001 TL to get my 02 sensor replaced. They were trying to rip me off of a tie rod, cv joint, and lied to me about my inspection sticker and the frame being rotted. The worst part is that the mechanic cut one of my exhaust hangers off in order to have my flex pipe separate so he can do more work on my car and get more money out of me. Even independent and franchise shops can rip you off. But the irony is, the Acura dealer was the only dealership that was trying to rip me off.
@@maximagmhondafan8892 True. That's why I don't go the dealer UNLESS I want to buy/sell a car or have them do a service that they can older do rather than an independent mechanic shop. Speaking of independent mechanic shops, Pep Boys usually do services correctly and offer sweet discounts. And I can schedule an appointment
@Aurva Roy funny you’d mention, I work at pep boys. I HATE it. I plan on quitting this month and will end up working at a dealership, because that’s where all of the training is.
Brought my new Chevy truck in for her first free oil change at my local Chevrolet dealer. When I got home i double checked their work and sure enough I had the same oil filter....i know this because I had marked a happy face with a Sharpe. Took it right back and they gave me 2 more free oil changes.
holy shit. Should of reported this to the State business agency. There is a you-tube video out there of a guy with him Mercedes..he left his dash cam recording and caught everything..they did none of the work and the guys even took his car to get fast food.
Work as a mechanic for Honda for over 10 years. Let me tell you if you're a good mechanic and you don't sell jobs or you don't find things to sell you don't keep your job for very long.
Bruh I had them change the brakes, they did change it but they didn't change the brake pads. When to the dealer for a oil change, then they said I need new pads guess what was the price to do that $300. Keep in mind I paid about $300 or more on brake rotor change. Aren't you supposed to change the rotors and pads at the same time? I will now do my car maintenance on my own and with the help of TH-cam videos like ChrisFix. I only went to the dealers maintenance because it was my first brand new car, and I want it to be taken care of, but hell parts are cheap for Hondas, and easy to install
it's also better for the brake system, more rotor means there is more material to dissipate the heat to so it's less likely to warp and cause brake pulsation
Better idea is to have you Honda professionals tell people how to properly work on their own cars by specific model. Otherwise stop posting crap on TH-cam and tell people to bring their personal lube when you show them the bill.
Husain Alkhamees true, but sometimes I let them do the oil change since it only $40 bucks. After the oil change they tell me what the cars needs. Then that’s when I save the money and do that work myself. For example, they told me one time I needed to change the power steering reservoir. I brought the car home and checked under the hood. Sure enough the reservoir was wet underneath. So I changed it out myself and saved money.
@@jogmas12 that's an excellent idea. Easy fixes like new air filters, wipers, or new fluids should be done by the owner. It's the harder and longer services that should be done by a licensed mechanic
My Acura was dripping oil and found out it was the non-Acura (Honda) filter put on when my tire shop did the oil change, so I go to the dealer and never had another drop of oil. Also nice when you get a free multi-point inspection during an oil change. Yeah it's more money but better than going to Jocko's Quick Lube.
chris rinck You have to cascade the oil into the funnel. Not just anyone can do it. You have to be certified honda man. Theres specifications to rate of flow from oil can to the funnel.
Why? They cost the same as independant shop. Honda dealer quoted me 180 to change front brakes and resurface rotor. Independant shop wanted 170 and who knows what parts they will use. I rather trust my car with ppl who work on the same cars everyday.
Though it is costly at dealer but we need to think they are there to earn money to support their families . I used to own Mercedes and the dealer charge around 200 dollars for just oil change and check here and there. I do oil change on my accord V6 myself. If you know how to do it it is supper easy as it will save not only money but time. I think this video is more for ladies who can not do oil change and prefer to take it to dealer.
He definitely did the o-ring. Maybe the filter was filled off-camera beforehand (should have shown it, though). What gets me is that he made such a big deal about torquing the drain plug and other bolts, but he didn't torque the filter. While I also put them on by hand, I always do a final tightening with the filter cup tool attached to a torque wrench.
Go for a simple oil change then they lie to you About all the work that you need and of course it’s a safety issue to try to put more pressure on you to spend a lot of money and their service advisors get commission for everything they sell to you that you don’t need
Actually they do this multi point inspection IF AND ONLY IF your vehicle has a wrench light the dashboard. When the oil life is down to 15%, the wrench light illuminates, so ya..
Why in oil change at 5000 miles? Your maintenance minder probably only shows 50%, changing oil is a waste of money. Do you know why they tell you to change your oil so soon it's because Honda changed their oil filter to a cheaper one made by Fram. Look for Honda 15400-PLM-A01 Oil Filter! The cheaper filter ends in -A02! I know this because of my previous Accord had over 400,000 miles before I gave it to my nephew, Quality oil and filter makes the difference.
I know I'm wasting money but I live by the 3000 mile rule. I've been changing oil on my 1999 Ford Taurus myself since new for the past 18 years/240,000 miles and never had a major issue with the engine or the transmission (every 2 years for the trans). The only issue is that the body will be the death of the car at this stage because it's rusted to hell.
Environmentally speaking a very bad old habit. Modern day oils and cars do not need to have oil changed this frequently. It's a waist of money and resources plus unnecessary pollution. It's not 1950's any more when your grand father told you so.
Honda put this video out Because they realize if everyone did their own oil changes , rotors and brake pads they would loss money. It's very easy to do it yourself . The fact is they over charge - price gauge you for just about everything it's pretty criminal. I worked along side a mechanic and there as bad as doctors, lawyers and accountants. You should hear the shit they say in the pit.
@@f181234Damn, that person must be speeding and braking hella hard or going down and using their brakes to slow down instead of lowering their gear. It's normal for the front brakes to wear out faster than the rear since 80% of the braking is done by the front. When they wear out depends on how often the car is driven or how the person drives
Its funny. I have never been to a Honda dealer where they didn't find one thing they tried to ding me for. If this tech guy keeps this up, he'll be out of a job.
Jesse Allen what you mean prime oil filter? If you think any place will fill oil filter with oil first your insane. Your also an idiot, the car was running when they drove it into shop. It still has a coating of oil on every part in the engine. It would take many days, possibly weeks for that oil film to fully dry and leave internal parts unprotected. Even if it did dry you think the 1 second it takes for the oil filter to fill affects anything? You leave a comment thinking you know more than a mechanic but you don't know shit. The toyota 2.2 liter engine they used for 30 years is considered one of the most reliable engines ever produced and the oil filter is screwed on from the top, therefore inpossible to 'prime'. Same with every subaru engine.
Considering this is a honda dealer, they probably follow the manufacturer's instructions to the letter. One of those instructions is do not fill the oil filter before installing. I don't know why, or if it could damage the engine in anyway (probably not,) but since these guys are certified honda mechanics, they have to follow all of honda's rules.
Since when is a torque wrench a "honda special tool?" All the correct tools to do the job correctly? Really, a few wrenches, sockets, ratchet, torque wrench....really a lot of tools.Just a BS video to get you to use a Honda dealer and give them money you can save by doing all yourself. And you can LEGALLY change your own oil and filter.
My Honda dealer forgot to tighten the drain plug. Had a puddle on the garage floor. One and a half turns with my fingers before I a wrench on it! Lucky it didn't fall out.
just a note if this is a honda dealer why use an air gun on the wheels if you check the pack your locking wheel nuts comes in it shows never to use guns on them apart from that great work
Indeed you can see the wheels are attached with cosmetic lug nuts as well as a locking nut. An impact tool should never be used on these. It damages their appearance and can damage the chrome plating.
Excellent job but I’ve found many dealers actually charging for services they haven’t done. Yep caught quite a few meaning for me it’s almost 50/50. That’s why I don’t bring my car to the dealer. It’s goes for American dealerships as well as foreign car. Some of you guys are literally THIEVES.
lol bought my honda june 2nd,and did oil change july 30, got car at 28904 now at 35450 when i did oil change did it myself. fuck a mechanic.. or dealerships... lol youtube it!!! all about money
I have done my service at the el Cerrito dealer. Great experience and they never tried to rip me off. They ask me if I want certain things done and how much they cost. They never try to fool me and make me pay for extra stuffs. From my side, I am quite knowledgeable about vehicles, so I know what they are talking about. I go to the dealer to save my time and for the records. There are plenty of discounts online.
The reason why you should go to your Honda dealer is because you need to support a slew of people who need your hard earned dollars to make a living. Why should you save money and take care of your kids, when you can spend money and support your local car dealership! The guys spoke about everything but... the oil change. I guess, there is not a whole lot to changing the oil, so he wraps up his 10 minutes job with 30 minutes worth of smoke screen. 5000 miles until the next oil change? really! with synthetic oil you can go eight month without an oil change.
wow... a lot of bashing going on in this comment section...lol.. but you know what? almost everyone is correct, do these things yourself, and if you cant, find a bf/husband that can do it for you. the dealer will sock it to you, plus i always enjoy knowing that i after i am done working on my car i do not have to worry about a dealer mistake. and honda oil? lol..no thanks..mobil 1 full synthetic here. 5qts $10 bucks online with rebate when available...you just gotta look.
I never sow when the remove the plastic protector under the engine! I took my 2015 first time and i never got down to do inspection after service, after 6 months surprise!! under cover missing! Gardena Honda.check your car after service tire nuts , key lock, small interior parts! You won’t realize is missing until you need it!
Lol stop acting like you guys know everything pointing out every mistake he does. The truth is, the $20 corner mechanic wont do magic on your car he will most likely rip you off too at some point. Take your honda (or any car) to the dealer they'll use genuine parts at just $39 for a complete full synthetic oil change. At leats thats what my local honda charges.
What he did is reset the "maintenance minder" light, not the "oil" light. He said it almost right the first time, "the maintenance light." There is a red oil light in addition to the yellow maintenance minder light. It indicates if the oil pressure is low, and may indicate if the level is low. It is not something that can be "reset." "This car has no power steering; it has electric power steering." Maybe he meant that the car has no power steering FLUID? If the car has any disk brakes, one does NOT want to see the brake fluid reservoir filled all the way up, unless the brake pads are at new thickness. As the pads wear, as they have in this car, the fluid level goes down. If with the pads worn, the reservoir is topped up, then when new pads are installed, the reservoir will overflow. Very messy. Cars are designed so that as the pads wear all the way down, there will still be plenty of fluid in the reservoir. It will be above the minimum line, as well as below the maximum line. Tire tread depth should be measured on several points on each tire, several points along the width, several points around the circumference. In addition to tread depth, they should be inspected for evenness of wear. If any tires shows uneven wear, further diagnosis is necessary to see if it indicates a need for balancing, wheel alignment, or replacement of suspension parts such as ball joints or tie rod ends.
A bunch of bullshit funny my girl's 2017 Honda Accord she brought the car twice to them for a oil change o and by the way I ben working at a bodyshop 19 years as a head painter and on top of that I do some work at home and I have all the tools welders 80 gal compressor with 4 big dryers all snapon tools and mac and have new scanners so ya am not a newbie so my point is I've Ben busy and never did my girl brought her car to no one because I've maintained her other car and two easy freaking oil change come on Honda and I jack the car and what did I see oil all under the car I checked the oil and level is half way I can't beleave that these fucking dum ass's with so call Honda tec couldn't do a stupid easy thing I always after adding oil I turn the car on and recheck my job for oil leaks o and the aluminum cover two aluminum half turn clips if u dum ass's no what am talking about where missing a new car zero miles bought and these dum so call tec. Can't do a oil change right wow shame on u guys I would close down this video and go back to school my first oil change I was 13 years old and never did I had a mess of oil from a oil change in one way am happy that it happen because ive ben with my girl for 7 years and I always told her of 80 percent of scammers out there and how most dealerships out there are full of shit and shit work so now she saw it with her own eyes so thank u Honda for u guys showing my girl what I told her in the first place thanks u guys just proved me right !!!! Got to love these videos !!! Had too clean all that oil a fucking new car lucky I always look at her car ever few days so lucky it didn't cause a engine because no matching vin dum fuckers ya hope everyone out there reads this so I guess now is u pay for a simple oil change and then u have to look under the car and clean there mess and buy aluminum half turn clips so ya go to them and make shore to Order a motor ahead of time when u run out of oil when u drive around because of there special Tork tool that I have sitting in my tool box that I never used on any oil change and I have people that ben coming to me for oil changes for 10 plus years and they don't go to no one other then me !!!Agin thanks Honda for proving me right !!! Lesson number one too new people that don't no too much very simple lesson try too have one person too work on your car so that way they can't blame someone else !!!
This is a video for watch in TH-cam, when I buy my new Honda Fit in 2015 brand new I see the radiator water was super low almost nothing, and I go to the dealer for maintenance and they chose change the oil in 5 to 10 minutes, when the car go back to my I check the water the same low level and I go and buy in the dealer the water and never go back I change my oil and everything, because whit Honda you never lose the warranty so I do my self, no trust in dealer sorry
At 1:52, Peter Griffin (I mean, Steven) allows the end of the air hose to smack the wheel. Around 4:00, he says they'll do "another torque with a manual torque wrench". By then, it's too late because the lug nuts have most likely been inconsistently and excessively torqued following the use of the "torque sticks" that are seen lying on the workbench as part of the "special Honda tool assortment".
Honda dealerships don't even change the oil filter at every oil change. The say that it is recommended by Honda that they change the oil filter every other oil change. Screw that, change your own oil that way you know it's done the right way.
Screw the dealer. My local one charges $30 just to rotate the tires. Dudes already have my car on the lift for an oil change, so why that much more just to air gun on/off the tires? You know damn well they don't use a torque wrench anyway. Even quick lubes rotate the tires for free with an oil change.
It's not rocket science to fill the oil filter with some oil before you put it on try to save those bearings any way you can plus it's just good procedure if the oil filter goes straight up and down the dealership just clowns people around anyway
Funny, the Honda my mom got her car from had such a long wait for an oil change that they told me it's totally fine for me to do it myself. I didn't know if it'll void the lease but now I just do it.
The Honda dealerships I go to don't fo half of the stuff you did with a regular oil change! they told me once it would cost me 35$ to check the pads on each side lol
I own a 2013 CRV and take it to the dealership where I bought it for oil changes. Why? Because every other garage I checked with charges at least $40 for full synthetic oil change (here in Ohio) and usually more than that (one major chain wanted $60!). The delearship charges $40, and they have a nice waiting room with TV and snacks. They haven't tried to sell me anything else. What's not to like? I used to do minor auto service myself, but I am older now and don't want to lay on the ground anymore. Also, a 5 gallon jug of the oil is about $30 and the oil filter another $6-7, so it is almost as cheap to let the delearship do it. Oh . . And I follow the mileage and car prompts for oil changes, and for me it is only twice per year. I am happy!
5 Gallons of Synthetic for $30? Thats damn cheap. Roughly 5 Oil changes for $65 with an average of $7 for oil filter. At $40 a pop at the dealer that'd be $200 which is a $135 savings over 50k at the standard oil change interval from Honda. Where do you buy 5 gallons off Synthetic for $30?
Goblin check walmart. You can get 5 quarts, more than most hondas will need for under 30 bucks. 5 quarts of Mobil 1 for 25 bucks. Hell, right now at O'Reilly you can get 5 quarts of valvoline synpower and a wix filter for 34 bucks. Well worth it to do it your self and know it's done right.
I was laughing too. He obviously meant 5 quarts... But yeah, walmart has the cheapest prices on oil. No mechanic can even approach the prices of walmart. I had one mechanic tell me that he buys the oil through special discount distributors for more than walmart sells to customers.
I don’t know why people keep hating. Some people don’t know how to change oil or do stuff on their car. I think Honda does a great job. This video was a great video for me. Don’t bother to comment something stupid down below or on the replies.
He clearly meant it doesn't have a power steering fluid tank to check. While dealer oil changes are a rip-off, you are being a bit of an ass on that one.
The only reason the dealer wants to do your oil change is so they can see if they can get you for more money somewhere else no other reason at all do not be fooled. Worked in a dealer for over 10 years
So many haters in here. Mechanic's just looking for opportunities to make money but you don't have to accept the services. At least you've been informed and have the freedom to go to a different shop. :)
i doubt they do that at my dealer after 15k miles on a 2016 civic i found outmy car never came without a cabin air filter and when i would get my report back after an oil change it would say it was still in good condition because i suffer from allergies i went to double check and there was no cabin air filter and i requested one and they tryed to charge me 40$ for it im like my vehicle didnt come with one give it to me for free and without much hassle they did atleast
so it doesn't have power steering, then in the next breath it has electric power steering, so it HAS power steering. Then he checks tyre pressure, says its 32 psi WRONG, front is always more than the back in a honda front wheel drive car so not all 32 psi, dealers are always lying about everything just to get more money from the poor noob drivers
He was checking fluids and mentioned no power steering...as in there's no need to check ps fluid because there isn't any. Also, the specified pressure for that accord is 32psi front/rear per the owners manual. I hate a stealership as much as the next guy but lets leave the criticizing to things that are actually stupid like the "honda specialty tools" torque wrench and torque-limiting impact extensions, lol.
the video. I have a question. Does it happen sometimes to you when you start driving after your car was parked for about 5 to 7 hours or overnight you start breaking slightly and your car breakers abroptly and hard? It happens on my Honda hrv 2019 and the car has only 700 miles! But then after driving 5 minutes more the car breakers normally softly and gently!
If that's the case, that means you're brakes are new. When you have new brakes, you don't have to press the pedal as hard to make it stop. And since you have 700 miles on your SUV, I'm assuming your SUV is brand new. New cars obviously have new brakes.
No they don't. All the Honda dealers here in Atlanta charge the same as independants shops, give or take. Even if a little more you know what parts they are using, who knows what the independant place is using.
0:04 How did you guys convince Sean Michaels (porn actor) to do your intro??...got to send my girlfriend there for an oil change and chassis lube!! outro 4:45
😂 This is the slowest way to do an oil change and m.p.i. you don't need to take the tires off the car unless it has steel wheels on some that you can't see the brake pads. All dealerships want a m.p.i. even if it has 3 miles on it, Really!? A waist of time.
First of all you need 4.5 q of oil not 5. Second you don't need an oil change sticker for 5k miles because depending on how you drive and where, the oil change might be needed anywhere from 5k to 10k. I am at 6k and my dashboard says I got 10% of oil life left. So you could potentially waste a lot of $ by doing the oil change too often. Honda put that oil change indicator in the dash for a reason. Also when you install a. Ew oil filter you need to lubricate de filter gasket. The guy in the video did it, but didn't say it need to be done. Poorly informative video at best
I'm curious because my 2013 civic shows 50% after almost 5000 miles, and it showed 50% even before going on a 440 mile long road trip. The oil looks pretty dark so I might go get it changed soon but i just hope that meter isn't wrong...
Steven s it depends a lot on how and here u drive. In town and stop and go wears out the oil 2 times more than regular driving. So instead of the 10k miles interval for the oil change it goes down to 5k or so like in my case. Actually the mileage at 5% for me was 5200 miles. That's when I changed the oil. You don't need to change your oil at 50%. The car's computer calculates the right interval for the oil change. The oil looks dark after just a few hundred miles. So that's not the right way to tell when the oil change is needed. Just go by the dashboard. I would wait until it shows 10% or less. Otherwise you are wasting your $ and time. Our hondas use full synthetic oil which is rated up to 12k miles. That is what Mobil claims.
Darkness of oil isn't an indicator. Just today I had drained oil out of an engine only five minutes after I put oil in it. (I put in the wrong weight.) I hadn't cranked the car. The oil was as black as if it had been in there for 10,000 miles.
good thing that Honda didn't have the plastic on the bottom above the oil pan. I'm sure they would have hacked it up so they wouldn't have to remove it like on my wife's car.
Most places will absolutely let you do this. The downside is that they provide no discount so you'll pay the oil change price and have to pay for your own materials on top of it. That's one really expensive oil change. This obviously may not apply to EVERYWHERE, just my anecdotal experience when I was apartment living and had no space to do my own wrenching.
"these are special Honda tools".... since when did a torque wrench and torque sticks become special tools???
Agree, these guys at Honda are jackasses - basically an infomercial.
"Please don't think of doing this on your own. We want your money."
It has the honda logo on it.
Therefore it's special

I like when they put the drain plug back when old oil is still dripping. Thanks. I will rather change it myself
@@TeresaGosa Of course I do

They have to run a huge facility. Meaning they will rob you
I hope this video was made for soccer moms and not grown men.
They want $105 CDN for a conventional oil change at Dealer using bulk oil. I can do it with synthetic oil and Honda oil filter for about $50.
Honda "special tools"
I service my Honda, its way cheaper like that.
Anthony Fig teach me
Make a vid tutorial
They want to charge me $75 for oil change, I can do it for $25 myself.
I would NEVER let a dealership touch my car!
Yeah until somebody else fck up ur car and u void ur warranty lol
@@vinichi3014 - Correct. Where I live right know, in Belgium, maintenance by a dealer is recommended.

There's more than just changing oil.
I wouldn’t if it wasn’t absolutely necessary. And the dealer has stopped doing car washes with each service, a big disappointment.
No I do it myself
All dealerships will rip you off
yes, only dealerships over charge you
Still Available some fault lies on the consumer for not knowing their car

Work as a mechanic for Honda for over 10 years. Let me tell you if you're a good mechanic and you don't sell jobs or you don't find things to sell you don't keep your job for very long.

Bruh I had them change the brakes, they did change it but they didn't change the brake pads. When to the dealer for a oil change, then they said I need new pads guess what was the price to do that $300. Keep in mind I paid about $300 or more on brake rotor change. Aren't you supposed to change the rotors and pads at the same time? I will now do my car maintenance on my own and with the help of TH-cam videos like ChrisFix.
I only went to the dealers maintenance because it was my first brand new car, and I want it to be taken care of, but hell parts are cheap for Hondas, and easy to install
yes, anytime you replace brake pads you should also replace the rotors, or at least machine the old rotors.
sully676 Cheaper to buy new part than machining it!
it's also better for the brake system, more rotor means there is more material to dissipate the heat to so it's less likely to warp and cause brake pulsation
Better idea is to have you Honda professionals tell people how to properly work on their own cars by specific model. Otherwise stop posting crap on TH-cam and tell people to bring their personal lube when you show them the bill.
Thanks for watching...
LOOL
I can do all of that outside my house and save money 😐
Same here would never go to any shop to do this easy stuff.
Husain Alkhamees true, but sometimes I let them do the oil change since it only $40 bucks. After the oil change they tell me what the cars needs. Then that’s when I save the money and do that work myself. For example, they told me one time I needed to change the power steering reservoir. I brought the car home and checked under the hood. Sure enough the reservoir was wet underneath. So I changed it out myself and saved money.
@@jogmas12 that's an excellent idea. Easy fixes like new air filters, wipers, or new fluids should be done by the owner. It's the harder and longer services that should be done by a licensed mechanic
Dealer just installed a dry oil filter. That's why i change my own oil.
I had a Honda dealer do an oil/filter change for me and they'd over-filled the oil by a pint!....never again will i have a dealer do it.
When did Honda start manufacturing their own tools?
My Acura was dripping oil and found out it was the non-Acura (Honda) filter put on when my tire shop did the oil change, so I go to the dealer and never had another drop of oil. Also nice when you get a free multi-point inspection during an oil change. Yeah it's more money but better than going to Jocko's Quick Lube.
Honda is the make for Acura filters. All Acura filters are Honda filters.
where is the compelling reason for the dealer to do the oil change?!
Well obviously it's because not everyone has the "honda specialty tools" painted torque wrench for your drain bolt, duh....
Good one. LOL
chris rinck LOL
chris rinck
You have to cascade the oil into the funnel. Not just anyone can do it. You have to be certified honda man. Theres specifications to rate of flow from oil can to the funnel.
If the owner can't do it himself due to lack of interest, time, or physical ability
They will literally tell you, your blinker fluid is low to charge you.
I just changed my blinker fluid last week , so i'm good.
Lol u dont top off brake fluid, the lower it gets that means your pad life is getting smaller.
Fuck the dealers...
Why? They cost the same as independant shop. Honda dealer quoted me 180 to change front brakes and resurface rotor. Independant shop wanted 170 and who knows what parts they will use. I rather trust my car with ppl who work on the same cars everyday.
5min but you guys still manage to take an hour and a half
Why is the wheel off for a simple oil change????
he stated in the video that he will conduct a curtesy brake inspection.
Though it is costly at dealer but we need to think they are there to earn money to support their families . I used to own Mercedes and the dealer charge around 200 dollars for just oil change and check here and there. I do oil change on my accord V6 myself. If you know how to do it it is supper easy as it will save not only money but time. I think this video is more for ladies who can not do oil change and prefer to take it to dealer.
sub786sub why ladies? Why can't ladies change oil. My gf does everything herself and she's an engineer
I went to the dealership for a recall on the airbags, they did an free inspection and recommended me a $139 cabin air filter replacement lmao
They do none if tht lol drain and go, and the rookies do it
Whoops. Forgot to top off new oil filter with oil before installing.
J K yup lol and lube the o ring
That is an unnecessary step actually, and he did lube the o ring
J K watch again. he definitely lubed it with the old oil.
He definitely did the o-ring. Maybe the filter was filled off-camera beforehand (should have shown it, though).
What gets me is that he made such a big deal about torquing the drain plug and other bolts, but he didn't torque the filter. While I also put them on by hand, I always do a final tightening with the filter cup tool attached to a torque wrench.
Jeff Ro you dont need to fill oil filter dumb ass
They never use quarts for an oil change. always bulk. I know for a fact a local dealer uses 'Total' oil in bulk.
Go for a simple oil change then they lie to you About all the work that you need and of course it’s a safety issue to try to put more pressure on you to spend a lot of money and their service advisors get commission for everything they sell to you that you don’t need
This is BS. no dealer technician do all this inspections
Actually they do this multi point inspection IF AND ONLY IF your vehicle has a wrench light the dashboard. When the oil life is down to 15%, the wrench light illuminates, so ya..
Honda this; Honda that! They should have carried their own brand of gas too!
Why in oil change at 5000 miles? Your maintenance minder probably only shows 50%, changing oil is a waste of money. Do you know why they tell you to change your oil so soon it's because Honda changed their oil filter to a cheaper one made by Fram. Look for Honda 15400-PLM-A01 Oil Filter! The cheaper filter ends in -A02! I know this because of my previous Accord had over 400,000 miles before I gave it to my nephew, Quality oil and filter makes the difference.
Retsel Yarrh i change my car oil 3k miles
shoot I don't change mine but once every 10,000 miles.
It tells you in the dashboard when it needs to be change!!! How can you miss the warning in there?
I know I'm wasting money but I live by the 3000 mile rule. I've been changing oil on my 1999 Ford Taurus myself since new for the past 18 years/240,000 miles and never had a major issue with the engine or the transmission (every 2 years for the trans). The only issue is that the body will be the death of the car at this stage because it's rusted to hell.
Environmentally speaking a very bad old habit. Modern day oils and cars do not need to have oil changed this frequently. It's a waist of money and resources plus unnecessary pollution. It's not 1950's any more when your grand father told you so.
Honda put this video out Because they realize if everyone did their own oil changes , rotors and brake pads they would loss money. It's very easy to do it yourself . The fact is they over charge - price gauge you for just about everything it's pretty criminal. I worked along side a mechanic and there as bad as doctors, lawyers and accountants. You should hear the shit they say in the pit.
This video didn't come from Honda - it came from an independently-owned dealership that sells Honda vehicles.
Why put a oil reminder sticker on the windshield when you have an oil life monitor on the dash?
Why the fuck would I waste time torquing drain plugs and wheel nuts???? Wtf tight is tight my arm and my impact are the torq wrench
Very true. But if you work at these places they want you to do that crap to these new shit wagons .
An oil change doesn't require the wheels to be taken off the car. "Oh it's a year old? lemme check the front brakes, they might need replacin'. "
peter zebot 😂
Boo Kalifa you’d be surprised how many people wear out brakes that fast I’ve seen new brakes gone in 8 months
f181234 shit wtf was they doing speeding at 100mph then braking hard 😂
Tire rotation would be in order every 5k.
@@f181234Damn, that person must be speeding and braking hella hard or going down and using their brakes to slow down instead of lowering their gear.
It's normal for the front brakes to wear out faster than the rear since 80% of the braking is done by the front. When they wear out depends on how often the car is driven or how the person drives
he should do a tire rotation also
And fill the oil filter prior to installing it.
Its funny. I have never been to a Honda dealer where they didn't find one thing they tried to ding me for. If this tech guy keeps this up, he'll be out of a job.
he did not prime the oil filter change the crush washer for the engine oil drain plug! !!!!! poor servicing
Good catch! Thanks for watching!
Jesse Allen what you mean prime oil filter? If you think any place will fill oil filter with oil first your insane. Your also an idiot, the car was running when they drove it into shop. It still has a coating of oil on every part in the engine. It would take many days, possibly weeks for that oil film to fully dry and leave internal parts unprotected. Even if it did dry you think the 1 second it takes for the oil filter to fill affects anything? You leave a comment thinking you know more than a mechanic but you don't know shit. The toyota 2.2 liter engine they used for 30 years is considered one of the most reliable engines ever produced and the oil filter is screwed on from the top, therefore inpossible to 'prime'. Same with every subaru engine.
Only the newer FA engines on the Subarus have the oil filter on top. The 22R engines from Toyota are tanks that run for a long time.
Considering this is a honda dealer, they probably follow the manufacturer's instructions to the letter. One of those instructions is do not fill the oil filter before installing. I don't know why, or if it could damage the engine in anyway (probably not,) but since these guys are certified honda mechanics, they have to follow all of honda's rules.
Once you have a gasket stick to the oil pump face, you'll never forget it again. Unless you check for the old gasket before installing the new filter.
Since when is a torque wrench a "honda special tool?" All the correct tools to do the job correctly? Really, a few wrenches, sockets, ratchet, torque wrench....really a lot of tools.Just a BS video to get you to use a Honda dealer and give them money you can save by doing all yourself. And you can LEGALLY change your own oil and filter.
My Honda dealer forgot to tighten the drain plug. Had a puddle on the garage floor. One and a half turns with my fingers before I a wrench on it! Lucky it didn't fall out.
Ya,then the dealer overfilled my civic and caused a huge oil leak
just a note if this is a honda dealer why use an air gun on the wheels if you check the pack your locking wheel nuts comes in it shows never to use guns on them apart from that great work
Indeed you can see the wheels are attached with cosmetic lug nuts as well as a locking nut. An impact tool should never be used on these. It damages their appearance and can damage the chrome plating.
Because I have time to take them off by hand fuck that!!
Excellent job but I’ve found many dealers actually charging for services they haven’t done. Yep caught quite a few meaning for me it’s almost 50/50. That’s why I don’t bring my car to the dealer. It’s goes for American dealerships as well as foreign car. Some of you guys are literally THIEVES.
lol bought my honda june 2nd,and did oil change july 30, got car at 28904 now at 35450 when i did oil change
did it myself. fuck a mechanic.. or dealerships... lol
youtube it!!! all about money
I have done my service at the el Cerrito dealer. Great experience and they never tried to rip me off. They ask me if I want certain things done and how much they cost. They never try to fool me and make me pay for extra stuffs. From my side, I am quite knowledgeable about vehicles, so I know what they are talking about. I go to the dealer to save my time and for the records. There are plenty of discounts online.
The reason why you should go to your Honda dealer is because you need to support a slew of people who need your hard earned dollars to make a living. Why should you save money and take care of your kids, when you can spend money and support your local car dealership! The guys spoke about everything but... the oil change. I guess, there is not a whole lot to changing the oil, so he wraps up his 10 minutes job with 30 minutes worth of smoke screen. 5000 miles until the next oil change? really! with synthetic oil you can go eight month without an oil change.
wow... a lot of bashing going on in this comment section...lol.. but you know what? almost everyone is correct, do these things yourself, and if you cant, find a bf/husband that can do it for you. the dealer will sock it to you, plus i always enjoy knowing that i after i am done working on my car i do not have to worry about a dealer mistake. and honda oil? lol..no thanks..mobil 1 full synthetic here. 5qts $10 bucks online with rebate when available...you just gotta look.
I never sow when the remove the plastic protector under the engine! I took my 2015 first time and i never got down to do inspection after service, after 6 months surprise!! under cover missing! Gardena Honda.check your car after service tire nuts , key lock, small interior parts! You won’t realize is missing until you need it!
Lol stop acting like you guys know everything pointing out every mistake he does. The truth is, the $20 corner mechanic wont do magic on your car he will most likely rip you off too at some point. Take your honda (or any car) to the dealer they'll use genuine parts at just $39 for a complete full synthetic oil change. At leats thats what my local honda charges.
I find it strange that over in America you guys don’t seem to check suspension for play etc
What he did is reset the "maintenance minder" light, not the "oil" light. He said it almost right the first time, "the maintenance light." There is a red oil light in addition to the yellow maintenance minder light. It indicates if the oil pressure is low, and may indicate if the level is low. It is not something that can be "reset." "This car has no power steering; it has electric power steering." Maybe he meant that the car has no power steering FLUID? If the car has any disk brakes, one does NOT want to see the brake fluid reservoir filled all the way up, unless the brake pads are at new thickness. As the pads wear, as they have in this car, the fluid level goes down. If with the pads worn, the reservoir is topped up, then when new pads are installed, the reservoir will overflow. Very messy. Cars are designed so that as the pads wear all the way down, there will still be plenty of fluid in the reservoir. It will be above the minimum line, as well as below the maximum line. Tire tread depth should be measured on several points on each tire, several points along the width, several points around the circumference. In addition to tread depth, they should be inspected for evenness of wear. If any tires shows uneven wear, further diagnosis is necessary to see if it indicates a need for balancing, wheel alignment, or replacement of suspension parts such as ball joints or tie rod ends.
A bunch of bullshit funny my girl's 2017 Honda Accord she brought the car twice to them for a oil change o and by the way I ben working at a bodyshop 19 years as a head painter and on top of that I do some work at home and I have all the tools welders 80 gal compressor with 4 big dryers all snapon tools and mac and have new scanners so ya am not a newbie so my point is I've Ben busy and never did my girl brought her car to no one because I've maintained her other car and two easy freaking oil change come on Honda and I jack the car and what did I see oil all under the car I checked the oil and level is half way I can't beleave that these fucking dum ass's with so call Honda tec couldn't do a stupid easy thing I always after adding oil I turn the car on and recheck my job for oil leaks o and the aluminum cover two aluminum half turn clips if u dum ass's no what am talking about where missing a new car zero miles bought and these dum so call tec.

Told neighbor lady had to remove passenger seat to change in cabin air filter on CRV. Charged $150.00. Lying Bastards.
This is a video for watch in TH-cam, when I buy my new Honda Fit in 2015 brand new I see the radiator water was super low almost nothing, and I go to the dealer for maintenance and they chose change the oil in 5 to 10 minutes, when the car go back to my I check the water the same low level and I go and buy in the dealer the water and never go back I change my oil and everything, because whit Honda you never lose the warranty so I do my self, no trust in dealer sorry
At 1:52, Peter Griffin (I mean, Steven) allows the end of the air hose to smack the wheel. Around 4:00, he says they'll do "another torque with a manual torque wrench". By then, it's too late because the lug nuts have most likely been inconsistently and excessively torqued following the use of the "torque sticks" that are seen lying on the workbench as part of the "special Honda tool assortment".
Peter Griffin? AHAHAHAHAHH
Honda dealerships don't even change the oil filter at every oil change. The say that it is recommended by Honda that they change the oil filter every other oil change. Screw that, change your own oil that way you know it's done the right way.
Screw the dealer. My local one charges $30 just to rotate the tires. Dudes already have my car on the lift for an oil change, so why that much more just to air gun on/off the tires? You know damn well they don't use a torque wrench anyway. Even quick lubes rotate the tires for free with an oil change.
It's not rocket science to fill the oil filter with some oil before you put it on try to save those bearings any way you can plus it's just good procedure if the oil filter goes straight up and down the dealership just clowns people around anyway
Funny, the Honda my mom got her car from had such a long wait for an oil change that they told me it's totally fine for me to do it myself. I didn't know if it'll void the lease but now I just do it.
The Honda dealerships I go to don't fo half of the stuff you did with a regular oil change! they told me once it would cost me 35$ to check the pads on each side lol
Why ? Because they will try to change things that don't you have to change ... rip you off
Wonder if they actually inspect all vehicles like that, or just that one for the video 😂
Whos ASE badges did this guy take lol..
Plus he didn’t have to take the wheel off to check the brakes that’s a huge waste of time
My local Honda did a great job I also take my sister’s Acura there as well they did a great job.
The only advantage of Bringing your car to the Honda dealer services is they would ripped off ass with the Bill ,
I own a 2013 CRV and take it to the dealership where I bought it for oil changes. Why? Because every other garage I checked with charges at least $40 for full synthetic oil change (here in Ohio) and usually more than that (one major chain wanted $60!). The delearship charges $40, and they have a nice waiting room with TV and snacks. They haven't tried to sell me anything else. What's not to like? I used to do minor auto service myself, but I am older now and don't want to lay on the ground anymore. Also, a 5 gallon jug of the oil is about $30 and the oil filter another $6-7, so it is almost as cheap to let the delearship do it. Oh . . And I follow the mileage and car prompts for oil changes, and for me it is only twice per year. I am happy!
5 Gallons of Synthetic for $30? Thats damn cheap. Roughly 5 Oil changes for $65 with an average of $7 for oil filter. At $40 a pop at the dealer that'd be $200 which is a $135 savings over 50k at the standard oil change interval from Honda. Where do you buy 5 gallons off Synthetic for $30?
Goblin check walmart. You can get 5 quarts, more than most hondas will need for under 30 bucks. 5 quarts of Mobil 1 for 25 bucks. Hell, right now at O'Reilly you can get 5 quarts of valvoline synpower and a wix filter for 34 bucks. Well worth it to do it your self and know it's done right.
I was laughing too. He obviously meant 5 quarts... But yeah, walmart has the cheapest prices on oil. No mechanic can even approach the prices of walmart. I had one mechanic tell me that he buys the oil through special discount distributors for more than walmart sells to customers.
My synthetic just cost me $81 here at the Honda dealership Lehigh strew PA!!!!
What happened to the tire rotation....
I don’t know why people keep hating. Some people don’t know how to change oil or do stuff on their car. I think Honda does a great job. This video was a great video for me. Don’t bother to comment something stupid down below or on the replies.
All the people in the video were great at explaining about the car. Thanks for the heart!
1:09. This car has no power steering...It has electric power steering......... Which is it? If you don't know, don't touch my car.
He clearly meant it doesn't have a power steering fluid tank to check. While dealer oil changes are a rip-off, you are being a bit of an ass on that one.
The only reason the dealer wants to do your oil change is so they can see if they can get you for more money somewhere else no other reason at all do not be fooled. Worked in a dealer for over 10 years
So many haters in here. Mechanic's just looking for opportunities to make money but you don't have to accept the services. At least you've been informed and have the freedom to go to a different shop. :)
So very true, thank you!
Yes, I just had an oil change and they recommended $1,500 in other repairs.
They want to make $$$$
i doubt they do that at my dealer after 15k miles on a 2016 civic i found outmy car never came without a cabin air filter and when i would get my report back after an oil change it would say it was still in good condition because i suffer from allergies i went to double check and there was no cabin air filter and i requested one and they tryed to charge me 40$ for it im like my vehicle didnt come with one give it to me for free and without much hassle they did atleast
Killayogi 2016 civic does have air filter
That will be $ 200.00 lol
so it doesn't have power steering, then in the next breath it has electric power steering, so it HAS power steering.
Then he checks tyre pressure, says its 32 psi WRONG, front is always more than the back in a honda front wheel drive car
so not all 32 psi, dealers are always lying about everything just to get more money from the poor noob drivers
Thanks for your comments and watching!
He was checking fluids and mentioned no power steering...as in there's no need to check ps fluid because there isn't any. Also, the specified pressure for that accord is 32psi front/rear per the owners manual. I hate a stealership as much as the next guy but lets leave the criticizing to things that are actually stupid like the "honda specialty tools" torque wrench and torque-limiting impact extensions, lol.
gotta love Honda for making the oil filter so easy to get to. makes a Volvo or Land Rover oil change feel like rocket science.
the video. I have a question. Does it happen sometimes to you when you start driving after your car was parked for about 5 to 7 hours or overnight you start breaking slightly and your car breakers abroptly and hard? It happens on my Honda hrv 2019 and the car has only 700 miles! But then after driving 5 minutes more the car breakers normally softly and gently!
If that's the case, that means you're brakes are new. When you have new brakes, you don't have to press the pedal as hard to make it stop. And since you have 700 miles on your SUV, I'm assuming your SUV is brand new. New cars obviously have new brakes.
They didn't fill the new oil filter with oil before installing. That missed step would get them checked off my list to service my vehicle.
Brady Rodgers stfu
You would hope and expect that what is shown in this video will be done on your car. What happens is far from this....
I think most pro's try... Thanks for watching!
And just for just $1,500...yeah fuck no
fuck the dealers or should I Say stealerships they suck ass and over charge way too much.
No they don't. All the Honda dealers here in Atlanta charge the same as independants shops, give or take. Even if a little more you know what parts they are using, who knows what the independant place is using.
Good for people who never open the hood of their car, but for others, a waste of time
He over filled oil .6 quart Jokers!
0:04 How did you guys convince Sean Michaels (porn actor) to do your intro??...got to send my girlfriend there for an oil change and chassis lube!! outro 4:45
Ha, how did you know....
The resemblance is uncanny!!
😂 This is the slowest way to do an oil change and m.p.i. you don't need to take the tires off the car unless it has steel wheels on some that you can't see the brake pads. All dealerships want a m.p.i. even if it has 3 miles on it, Really!? A waist of time.
Waste*
😂 what are u a fucking teacher? You know what I meant
Totally agree.....with exceptions. I use an independent shop.
First of all you need 4.5 q of oil not 5. Second you don't need an oil change sticker for 5k miles because depending on how you drive and where, the oil change might be needed anywhere from 5k to 10k. I am at 6k and my dashboard says I got 10% of oil life left. So you could potentially waste a lot of $ by doing the oil change too often. Honda put that oil change indicator in the dash for a reason. Also when you install a. Ew oil filter you need to lubricate de filter gasket. The guy in the video did it, but didn't say it need to be done. Poorly informative video at best
I'm curious because my 2013 civic shows 50% after almost 5000 miles, and it showed 50% even before going on a 440 mile long road trip. The oil looks pretty dark so I might go get it changed soon but i just hope that meter isn't wrong...
Steven s it depends a lot on how and here u drive. In town and stop and go wears out the oil 2 times more than regular driving. So instead of the 10k miles interval for the oil change it goes down to 5k or so like in my case. Actually the mileage at 5% for me was 5200 miles. That's when I changed the oil. You don't need to change your oil at 50%. The car's computer calculates the right interval for the oil change. The oil looks dark after just a few hundred miles. So that's not the right way to tell when the oil change is needed. Just go by the dashboard. I would wait until it shows 10% or less. Otherwise you are wasting your $ and time. Our hondas use full synthetic oil which is rated up to 12k miles. That is what Mobil claims.
I'm just really concerned it's stuck at 50% and it's actually at 5 or something because it hasn't budged in the last 500 or so miles
u should change it at 15%
Darkness of oil isn't an indicator. Just today I had drained oil out of an engine only five minutes after I put oil in it. (I put in the wrong weight.) I hadn't cranked the car. The oil was as black as if it had been in there for 10,000 miles.
good thing that Honda didn't have the plastic on the bottom above the oil pan. I'm sure they would have hacked it up so they wouldn't have to remove it like on my wife's car.
J Rod *below
magincap70 oooohhhhkaaaay!
can I bring my own oil and have you put it in I use Amsoil.
James Chapman that's like bringing steak to a restaurant.
Most places will absolutely let you do this. The downside is that they provide no discount so you'll pay the oil change price and have to pay for your own materials on top of it. That's one really expensive oil change. This obviously may not apply to EVERYWHERE, just my anecdotal experience when I was apartment living and had no space to do my own wrenching.
The comments are more interesting and useful than this video.
At least this video gave me a good laugh...
