i've had a lot of different opinions about what milage i should get the first oil change. opinions please.

 

I am very close to the recommended mileage for first oil change(3,750 miles).

HOwever, I am going to keep the original oil until 5,000 miles, just to make sure rings seat properly. In the mean time, I will be adding Castrol GTX in case of losing oil.

I read somewhere F20C will get stronger up to 5,000 miles or so...

But that's just me

 

me too
I dont know if i should change my oil at 3750 or 7500
when did everyone else changed theirs???

 

My plan is to change it at 5,000 miles. I'm at 1,750 and have added 1/2 quart to keep the oil level at full.

 

i'm at 4500 right now, and i havnet added or changed any oil sa of now. so i thin i'm going to go into honda tomorrow and get my oil completly changed.

 

Check your manual first. I believe it states to change it after one year or 7500 miles - whichever comes first.

 

You're right it does for "normal" as opposed to "extreme" conditions. I would love to change it a 7500 mi. You not only save time, but you save money.

But we've all been brainwashed to change it at 3,000. Do most people here actually change it at 7500 mi? I think the longest I could ever let it go is 5000.

 

I will be changing mine at 3500miles/6000kms with Mobil 1 10W30. Currently topped up with Valvoline All Climate 10W30.

Peace
