2021 Accord 1.5T. I bought it in December, changed the factory fill in May at about 7500 miles with Castrol Edge 0W-20 & Fram TG. It's now at about 12K, 50% on the MM. The plan is to drive from Chicago to central Florida, so at least 2500 miles round trip, probably 3000 when all is said and done. I'm sure the MM would be fine with a 7500 mile OCI, with plenty of highway miles, but what does BITOG think?

Change it.
It got its first change just shy of 7500, to the Edge. A consensus seems to be forming.

Change it.
If the trip expands from the expected duration, you are covered.
No worries.

Did anyone say to change it?
Did you reset the OLM when you changed it?
If you did, don't worry about it.
If you didn't, change it.

Your car is still producing wear in particulates so I would tend to change it sooner when new.
Change it please
yes
yes, the OLM is reset and shows 50%.
Back when we had 18 CRV with the 1.5LT the manual stated don’t change the factory fill early. Wait till olm says so. Hopefully they got the 1.5LT fuel dilution issue resolved. At the 20K mark I measured 1.5 qrts of fuel following the olm. Wife wanted something bigger so she got a Pilot.
