I was told (on my 6th gen) to not change the oil until 7500 miles because Honda puts some stuff in there also that helps break in the engine. Then again, Honda also says I only need to change the oil every 7500 after that, but I do it every 3-4K anyway.
personally i think it's :bs:
when i first got my car i went ahead and waited for that 7500 mark. Instead i played it safe and changed at 4000...and whatta u know, the oil is all dirty and pitch black.
i dunno i just think they say that so when ur motor breaks they'll be fishin more maintenance $ outta you. :dunno:
