Did the "A1" service at 10500 miles. The A1 light came on at about 10150 miles.

Service was $65.00

Included a battery check and they rotated the tires. Tires were also pressurized to 33PSI. I run mine usually at 40 PSI.

The oil was $32 dollars and filter was $35. I had a $15 discount.

Strange the amsoil guy hasnt said anything? If you had amsoil you can blah, blah, blah.

I got like 6 filters for 50 bucks through the mail, but the dealer wanted 7.42 a qt for the 0w20.

My dealer charged like 32 bucks, the usual oil change price.

I got tired of triggering abs and trac contro, so I aired mines down to 35psi. I had 40 too.

During Black Friday, I cleaned out two Pep Boys stores of their Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy Synthetic 0W-20 Motor Oil. They had it on sale for $3.99 a quart. It normally sells for $6.99 a quart. I bought over 20 quarts of the stuff. I will switch to this stuff the next time my 2010 Honda Insight is due for an oil change. I normally inflate my tires to 40 psi, but I used to have it at 44 psi during the summer.

The oil doesn't really matter that much to me. The oil was $8 a quart. Usually we can do the CR-V for around $35, the combination of the oil and filter was a little more. Maybe 0-20W costs more.

Anyway $65 of maintanence after 10,000 miles is pretty good.
