If you're using full synthetic, and driving mostly highway miles, then you're wasting a lot of time and money changing the oil that often. You should be able to reasonably get 5,000 miles out of regular oil when driving highway miles. With synthetic, I would let it go to 7,500 miles.
Honda's recommendation is 3,750 on regular oil, so you're way overdoing it. But to each his own...
Werd. I didn't even notice the synthetic thing. I have 116k on my Accord, with 98% of them highway miles, and have used regular 5W30 and changed it every 4k-6k miles and the only thing that has EVER gone bad on my car is an 02 sensor, which I got replaced for free because I had 45k and the dealer made Honda reimburse me for it. Oh, and a clock light bulb
