How often do you change oil in Honda?

My sister works at the honda dealership. Both her and the manual says to change the oil in a 6 cyl after 7,000 miles and in a 4 cyl. after 10,000 miles. I have a 2005 4 cyl. and have driven maybe 4500 miles without an oil change. It's at around 58k total miles on the car. It just worries me to go very long. But I know Hondas have great engines and last a long long long time with the right maintanence. Should I change it 3k to 5k miles just to be on the safe side?

Personally, I go between 3 and 5k using regular oil.

I have been doing this on my Honda Accord for years now (some synthetic, not Mobil 1 EP necessarily). The engine is in great shape (121K miles) and gives me pretty much the same mileage as it did when it was brand new. I have had no engine problems whatsoever. You would need to top up the engine oil every 1.5K miles to ensure that you compensate for evaporation loss. If you want you could change the oil filter at about 4K miles, but that is not really needed.

If you choose to use conventional oil changes, suggest you change oil at about 10K. Also remember to top off your oil at about 1.5k intervals. Make sure you use Mobil 5000 or Mobil 7500 if you choose not to use 100% synthetic.How often do you change oil in Honda?change it at 5,000 milesHow often do you change oil in Honda?I have a Honda, and I change mine between 3,000 and 5,000...How often do you change oil in Honda?5--k on07 crv don't do 10-kHow often do you change oil in Honda?3000 is a little excessive anymore.
