I thought it was 10,000 x 2 = 20,000 mi.
Doesn't Honda recommend 10,000 mi OCI and and a 20,000 mi Filter Change. That assumes if course on a newer car the OLM doesn't object.

Not sure . Maybe it applies to the 3rd generation FIT . We have 2nd generation .
They may have phased it in across models. I don't think the Civic got the MM until 2006, when the 8th gen came out. I don't think any 01-05 7th gens have it. The S2000, TSX, and Accord all got in in 2006. That's probably the year Honda put it on all their cars, but some could've had it earlier.
I don't think the RSX ever got the MM, even though it was made thru 2006
The dipstick tube is how you change a boat's oil, so It should be ok.
I know I am overthinking this, but here goes. OC intervals could be unequal. Go 8,000 miles after an oil and filter change and just 6,000 miles after oil only, since the oil is going to be a bit dirtier when some is left in the filter or in the pan with a vacuum extractor. At this point, I'm not sure if OC stands for Oil Change or Obsessive Compulsive!
