Thooks....and everyone else

was wondering about something...i understand how important a regular oil change is for your car...but do u really have to change it after 1K? Honda says 5K...i do it 3k ...i got about 8.5k miles on mine...my 3rd oil change is coming up NOW....cause nowhere in the manual it says that you gotta change it so frequently...

(sorry shonnv..i still kept the manual despite u tellin me to trash it..lol)

am i missing something?
