yeah,thanx man,it's not the tranny,I thought it's the tranny cauz the harsh shifts really make me mad.I asked the mechanic drove my car how's his feeling about the tranny.He said,well,it's ok to me cauz honda at this age,auto shifting like this is quite normal,no big deal.sigh.............. I would say if I have a chance later on,manual all the way.

Sounds like time to ask for a refund for the original oil change. Did they say that it was from a double gasket or what was the deal? Filters don't just 'go bad' magically like that.

they didn't say anything,but I actually saw it when they raising up the car,the oil was coming out from the gasket area as I can tell.
Their price is always good,but some of the parts they use....... I saw the filter myself.It's even a silver one,shiny,looks great.But.......the brand name starts with a "A","Amso" maybe. Inferior brand for sure.I think next time I will go buy some honda filters to avoid this happen again.
