Re: Oil change issue...
Thanks for clarifying, Joe, and offering your opinion on the
distinction between the '05 and '06 Sis, to help explain the
difference in oil recommendations.

I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something
about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is
purely destructive. We've created life in our own image.

Ah, that explains it. They probably just looked up Honda Civic in the
book or computer and it said to use 5W-20. I'm not surprised that a
quick lube place missed the Si nuance.
Personally I would much rather do my own oil changes than trust the
quick lube types, but to each their own.

I suspect you are right. Honda makes many variations on it's basic
designs and seems to specify 5W-30 for the higher performance versions.

I generally watch them very closely, but I was distracted with the kids
when he was filling the oil. Caught it on the receipt...
I don't do oil changes anymore. For what it costs to get them done, it
isn't worth rolling on the cold ground, especially in Buffalo, where only
1-2 changes a year would be in nice weather...
