    Are these cracks coming from the drilled holes worth concern? Noticed them after track day last night and have another on labor day.

    So, it's all good - completed the oil change and got them to change the oil filter because it's the first oil change. I didn't want any possibly whatsoever of debris from assembly clogging up the filter. If it's not in the pan on the magnet, it's in the filter, so best to change it first...

  16. Location recommendation for Hatchback Service near Chicago?

    I'm getting close to B1 service time and the prices at dealers are insane, they are just taking advantage; I was wondering if anyone in the Chicagoland suburbs knew of any mechanics/Garages they would recommend or any (god forbid) honest honda dealerships that give fair prices for maintenance...
