1st Oil Change
Hi everyone,
Question about the 1st oil change on an '05 Accord LX 4-cylinder. The dealership had an offer w/Quakerstate that said they would extend the warranty on the engine to 100k miles (I forget the years) if I change the oil before 4k miles w/Quakerstate. This includes the 1st change. Reading this newsgroup and other places, I hear you should let it go for what the manual indicates before changing. To me, the extra warranty would be a pain - always have to find a place to replace it with this oil. Besides, I was thinking of switching to Mobil 1 after the first couple changes anyway w/regular dino oil. Should I just change the first time @4k miles, or wait until it is a little closer to what the manual says? Thanks in advance! -Dave |

Honda oil filter every time, of course. Severe service schedule it is - 4 miles to work gives short distance drives. Gotta make sure I'm taking her for a run on the highways on a refular basis :-) Thanks again! -Dave |
