Scheduled Oil Change

My impression on this issue is that the stock factory oil from Honda is a synthetic oil and therefore does not break down as fast as other oil. If you get the oil changed with the recommended oil which is something like a 0W-30 oil, you can easily go 7k-9k milessafely without changing the oil. The cost for synthetic oil is considerably more expensive as you would pay close to $70 compared to $30 for a regular oil change. Hope this helps!
