15K service

First service I did at Erez Pratiot in Haifa for few reasons: I was there in that day and I don't want to spent a cent for Honda in Netanya, only by emergency maybe.


Labor: 263.38 NIS, almost 0.9 hour by reglament.
Parts:
1. 15400-RBA-F01 Oil filter: 117.8 NIS
2. 94109-14000 Washer: 3.98 NIS
3. 08232-P99G-4LHE - oil Honda HFS 5W-40, 4L: 244.99 NIS

Total: -630 NIS. If you want generic oil from barrel, it should be 580 NIS but I did not recommend it.

They also did general checks of all systems.

And don't forget stamp in car book!

Overall impression - good, but expensive.
I got from Russia:
1. Oil filters 15400-PLM-A01 (made in USA) and 15400-RTA-003 (made in Japan) for $7 each
2. Washers 94109-14000: $0.5

Also, after technician finished work, he passes car to master that also checks oil level. And as I asked do not fill all 4 liters, they added a note in the paper. And said that in Civics they fill to more than maximum level for "some" reason.

We also swapped front and rear tires. While driving from Haifa back home I got warning. So I stopped the car on shoulder and went out to check all 4 tires. Nothing was wrong.
Strange that it detected that not right after change but when I drove about 30 km. Not reliable system as it was on VAG cars, as I think. Reinitialise system and you good to go.

Tire Puncture and Compressor


Yepp... Recently I got puncture. On Saturday we went to the sea at Netanya center and after we drove home I heard "that clicking sound". It come from front, so I pull steering wheel full right and look through window - and we got puncture.

Nothing special. Tire looks fully inflated. I took a bottle of water and pour a bit on this screw. No air bubbles, so I left car rest till tomorrow when I drove to my fancy tire shop - CheckUp.

The reason I wrote this post is that I saw there cheapest air compressor that for that money everyone should have. Funny thing that the owner of compressor usually use it.. to help others and rarely to himself :-)
Anyway. For 55 NIS you can buy there great quality product. No fast, but once it can hep you to get to nearest tire shop to get help.


Some brakes photos for reference.
