I bought some SILKOLENE Pro S 5/40 Fully Synthetic from Oilman at JAE for £29.99.
John Pease in Braintree said they would charge £35+vat but didn't say what oil it would be. Each dealer seems to be different :?

Paul,
I use John Banks Honda for all my servicing. I haven't had any problems yet. I supply my own oil and HAMP Oil filter and they are fine with that. The receptionist is fit (bonus) and there coffee is top notch.
I've never needed any warrenty work doing so can't comment on that.

4.7 litres required for an oil change. The daddy of oils for the CTR is Silkolene Pro-S 5W-40. PM Oilman for a great deal.zeffania said:
My Type R is going in for its 2nd service soon. I phoned 8 dealers, best price £230 all inclusive, minus the cost of oil. I would recommend supplying a good quality oil (like Pro-S) when your CTR is serviced. Some dealers use cheap, ropey oil which does not do the car justice :evil:

I'm not sure if they offer forum discount. Try sending him a PM.

Additionally, if you want a HAMP oil filter to go with your 5/40, then there's also Unit 8's "Mini-service" pack to consider:

I do it all the time Bigred.
from 3 months to 48 months = 45 prices, add Assist and a further 45 prices, and if your car is still under manufacturers warranty you also have an option of a wear and tear policy, and another 45 prices, = 180 prices variations, would you like a quote? pm me.
(Yes it is 180 because you can have Wear and Tear with or without Assist)

As it stands i am seriously considering putting the AEM in my vehicle following the thread in the induction section........
however
if i do decide to go for that how does it effect my warranty? Does it invalid the warranty for the engine or what?
This question has always been the stumbling block from me doing things to my cars before.
Any help is great. Thank You

The thing is this Graham.
If you modify the car in any way outside Honda reccomendation and something goes wrong with a part that is attached to or works with the modified part then the administrators could say the policy is void.
The arguement is that if you fit a replacement part that is not Honda approved, and the Honda approved part is not covered in the guarantee as it is a wear and tear or service item, should anything go wrong that causes a problem whereby the affected part is covered by the guarantee, who pays?
Service Managers could take a view that as long as the part is not covered by the scope of the guarantee then in some cases it would be OK to fit, depending on what part it is, and the guarantee would still be valid.
However, the terms and conditions specifically state that modifications are not allowed, therefore if you fit an induction kit and it blows up your engine, an engineer will inspect from the guarantee company, spot a non standard kit and report it back to the claims people who will then probably void the guarantee, not just that claim.
So, if you want to take up a guarantee check with the people you are purchasing it from what they would reccomend, or pm me with the details and I will make a general enquiry for you.

Prefacelifts have shorter service mileage intervals... Does this apply anymore or is there a difference still?
Plus my 60k service is due, hoping it's not too pricey!
