I'm really fascinated by the psychology of this. Do you recognize that there's no logic to that? I mean, we all do some things that are illogical, so I'm not saying you shouldn't. I'll drive out of my way to a gas station just to save a few cents per gallon on gas. I am just curious if you know it make no sense. I mean, isn't your 3-4K number arbitrary? How did you determine it shouldn't be 5-6K? Or wouldn't your engine be in even MORE tip top shape if you changed it every 1-2K?I change mine every 3-4K cause I like to keep the oil as good as I can. Not really waste of time. Specially if you are always on the go, probably a good idea to keep up with the oil changes. I'm willing to spend the money to keep my daily at tip top shape.
Or, put another way, do you think Honda intentionally makes their oil life algorithm inaccurate because they want people's engines to fail prematurely? Or do you think they're just incompetent?
