2nd oil change

fg1xr18 · 04-15-2008, 09:29 PM

so i got my first oil change at 15%. i was wondering do i have to get my 2nd oil change at 15% or on the 3,000/3months. help please!

just wait till it hits 15% again. i work at a honda dealer ship and i've talked to the lub techs about it before they told me to just wait till it tells you you need one.

I agree with allstarcivic7. You should get your oil change when the reminder thing hits 10% - 15%. That's the whole point of the reminder. You don't have to remember every 3000 miles to change the oil.

if you take it easy on the car and do a lot of hwy miles you can stretch oil intervals to around 8,500 miles@15%

he has a R18(i think) so we don't get all the fun you K20 guys get when you hit V-TAK

i've been getting mine changed at 20-30. Hey, does anyone else think that their car is just a little faster right after it gets an oil change? It's just a figment of my imagination, right?

the only difference i felt was that it was smoother for me but maybe its just me
