Read the manual.
THIS!!!

Do read the manual.. and Follow factory guidelines. - The Maintenance Minder will tell you when you need an oil change. Since the computer monitors your driving style/use, no two people will have the same intervals.. Easy highway driving? might be 8-10K mile intervals.. City driving in harsh weather? might be 3-5K mile intervals.. Hardly use the car? - might be time (6 months, year) vs miles.

Asking questions about "oil" is like asking if someone has a belly button.. everyone will have an opinion. Following factory guidance is fine. There are about 1,000 threads about oil out there ;)

600 mile break in per manual. No pulls, no spirited driving, no slamming gears. Cruise it.

I do oil change every 5000-7000.

First oil change for me was 4500 miles.

But i do it myself.

for the first 500 miles i drove it without driving over 4k rpm. it wasnt easy.

change the oil every 4k - 5k miles. dont wait for the minder light. i dont give a fuck about the "honda engineers know best!" no, im not waiting until 9k miles to change my fuggin oil.
