That is why you have an oil filter, to filter those particles. Also, even if you change it out, more of those particles are going to show up the next day anyway, there is nothing you can do about it, and it's normal. All you are doing is wasting time and money doing that as your engine isn't going to be any better off by doing it. Unless you are pulling a sample out of it and sending it to a lab, like Blackstone Labs, you are just exercising in futility. This is exactly why Honda tells you to change the oil when they do. I also know a well known race mechanic that specializes in Honda motorcycle engines, and mostly 4 stroke inline 4's just like the ones in these Civics. I asked him the same question before about changing the oil early and he said it's a waste of $ as more particles will just show up tomorrow. It's not 1955.
