Even though a modern oil can arrive at 18,000, 18.000km remains a limit beyond which never go. Honda recommends for my Civic TD replacing the oil at 20,000k. I have never exceeded 15,000. Much also depends on the driving conditions: if i make many short trips, urban traffic and many stop an go i just change it at 10.000k. If driving conditions are less stressful in the long run, i change the oil at 15,000k.
