I have about 3,300 miles since my last oil change, with just over 19,000 miles on a 2019 Si. I went to the dealer for a change and they said that since the oil life meter listed it as still being 60%, I don't need a change. Anyone know how accurate the oil life meter actually is?
By that math, I'd get over 7,000 miles before a change was required. That seems like too much. My concerns are this is still a "new" engine for a Honda, and I drive it hard. Plus in Cali we have tons of fires/smoke/heat waves, so it seems to me like the dealer might not be right. Also, after my last oil change, they did not reset the meter - I did after the service. This suggests it's not based on actual oil condition but a predetermined mileage of some sort.
That said, I don't know, so I defer to you experts.
