I've developed a great relationship with a service advisor at a local Honda dealer in Charlotte, and one of my good friend's friends is a service tech there who does awesome work. An expensive bill ended up being like $75 when I left! I bought pizza and a 2 liter for both of them for hooking it up. Didn't have to end up doing the diff fluid because my car doesn't have a rear diff! :lol:
Car feels even smoother and more powerful with the new filter and fresh Amsoil in it. I took an oil analysis sample and I'm sending it out tomorrow. I'll post up the results here. I'm likely going to switch to an Amsoil oil filter even though they're more expensive, depending on what kind of oil change interval this test company recommends.
Oh also, I took my front bumper off to remove the intake resonator, only to find that the previous owner had already done it. Oh well!
