Another Oil Change
Got this done on Sunday, October 9, 2016. Odometer reading was 211354. Definitely putting the miles on my poor Honda. The Maintenance Light came on, and that always tells us that it's time for an oil change, the timing of which is set by the previous mechanic, my old pal, Richard.
I went to Grease Monkey in Northglenn. Was lucky they were open. The store in Rifle was closed for the day, but O'Reilly Auto Parts store sitting right next door was open. I stopped in there and got some oil for the road.
Grease Monkey is thorough, a little too thorough. They categorize their services. There's a Recommended Service and Checklist, purportedly of things they checked. Ahem.
My engine is an E-7 4-c 2.3l Fi F23a1 F23a4. I have no idea what those last three numbers/letters mean. One more project for me today.
They put in one oil filter, Part # PH 4612.
And poured 4.25 quarts of oil, AS530 AS 5W30 grade.
Here's what their Invoice looks like. It is Invoice 84576.
