- My '90 Integra gets the oil and filter changed for $6.90. It also
- gets a bath for no extra charge while it's there. All at the Acura
- dealer. The catch is, this is only good for 10 oil changes. I bought
- what they call the Engine Security Service (or something like that)
- which included a card that can be punched ten times for 10 oil
- changes. The card cost $69.00, and I didn't even buy my car at that
- dealer. I use it in the winter months when the car is all slushy
- underneath and the garage floor is cold. I change it myself the other
- times of the year, so I don't know what the regular price of an oil
- change is at that dealer. I know it's less than $30 which is just
- a few dollars more than at most quik lube type places around here.
