Re: Oil change interval

You got one of those service writer/service technician boobs 
who either (1) is not staying up to date on Honda 
technology; (2) is trying to sell you things your car does 
not need; or (3) likes to act like he knows the truth when 
he's actually guessing; or (4) a combination of the latter. 
These guys have a lot of good experience to offer, but they 
can still be off the mark.

At least he's not telling you to change the oil every 3000 
miles. This represents improvement.

You are reading the manual correctly. This one-year interval 
or when the MM light comes on, whichever is first, has come 
up here in the recent past.
