I always get my oil changed at an independent drive thru lube shop, I take my own oil and filter with me. I watch as they pour in the oil jug I brought in, and I ask them to produce the filter that they just pulled out to make sure it was the one that I installed last time. I then ask them to make sure the drain bolt is tight and that the skid plate is on properly. It's because of past nightmares with the local Honda dealership that I do this.my dad is the experianced honda mechanic. but his specialty is body work and less engine work. but i am very wary of the dealership changing my oil cause theres a good chance they may just empty the oil, leave the old filter on, and dump cheap oil in it and wreck the shit out of my new engine. it only makes more money for them to do that.
