I changed my Honda factory-filled oil at 3000 mile. The manual recommends to keep the oil at least 5000 mile. What should i do to make up the possible damage to the engine due to my early change.
What kind of oil have the similar function as Honda's factory-filled oil?
Thanks

JaeDan2, remember that changing to Redline is quite expensive. Regarded as one of the best on this board but comes with a price.

I just changed it several days ago. I concern that I may lost some of advantage because I changed it two thousand miles earlier. So I hope to have a similar oil as Honda's factory oil for next two thousand miles. Redline 5W20 sounds a good choice. Local store here has Mobile 1 0W20. I am not sure which one is better?
if you changed it at 3K miles, your fine. the engine is already broken in by 1000 miles, hell i would say after 500 miles any engine is broken in.
