I have a 2016 Honda Civic LX and I want to get engine oil changed (Synthetic).

Can anyone suggest/recommend a good mechanic from where I can get this done?

Also Honda Dealership is offering oil change at $CAD 66.98. Is it the cheapest I can get?

Unless you're willing to DIY, personally I'd rather pay the dealer the 70 bucks and know I'm getting OEM quality synthetic oil and a filter by a properly trained tech.

As many have mentioned, the Honda dealer price is excellent. The last time I was at a quick lube for an oil change those places were quoting about $100. I didn't bother with it.

You might be able to save $15-20 at a local garage but the dealer is not that bad for normal oil changes if you are not going to do it at home. Skip anything but their oil changes though as it is expensive!

Oceans, have you gotten any grief from the dealer with your SRI / DP ? Do you hide your Ktuner / flash back to stock when you go in?

Dealer is usually your best bet but my first oil change the tech didnt tighten the oil pan properly after draining it so the car dumped all of its oil out on my driveway overnight. Had to tow it back to dealer, but they fixed it and are giving me a free oil change and tire rotation next time around so it's not all bad. I would still recommend just going to the dealer. Price wise, it isn't the cheapest but also not outrageously expensive.

Nope my friend is a technician at the honda dealer I go to so he does everything for me no issues. I get the hookup on service and price. Also everything is legit in the system.
