^^ Do you drive hard or FI?? That's kinda early changing your oil if you don't. You really wouldn't get your moneys worth if you change it so fast on synthetic. Their meant to last at least 5k if not more especially if you dont drive hard. Just trying to help out so you dont spend more money than you really need to.

EDIT: Are you saying you only change your oil once a year in the spring and that you only drive 3k in a year? If thats the case WOW, but I would probably change it at 5k or 6 months, whichever comes first. I dont know if I want oil past 6 months old in my car. But thats just me.

I only use the honda filter. I will never let FRAM touch my car.
