My sister got a brand new 2009 Honda Odyssey EX-L (she got it for 32K + Tax = 35K, in case you're curious about the current market)
The dealer print-out sheet saids the FIRST oil change should be at 3,500 miles and then every *3,000* miles after that.
First. I learned from this forum that every 3,000 miles is unnecessarily often.
The maintenance schedule does not state what the OCI should be, which I find funny but it's true.
So, here's my question.
Is it true that the factory-fill oil is some kind of special break-in oil?? Is this why the first oil change should be of a longer interval (3.5K vs. every 3K after that)???
I was under the impression that Honda's call for Oil change every 7.5K.
thx.
