I would think that Honda would put something in their owners manual if there was an issue about changing the oil early. In these days where you need a warning label on a hair dryer "don't use while sleeping", I am sure Honda would have said something if we needed to change the oil during the break in period.

Honda would not want to do something where they might in the least contribute to engine problems.

As long as you change your oil and do your service at least as often as Honda says, you are covered by the warranty.

Boy this is starting to get a bit confusing. :?

OK....maybe we better see about one of our dealers who post adding their 2 cents worth?

I am by far not an expert on oil changes, so anyone who knows, please try to clear this up a bit for us :?:

One thing that someone reminded me, there is a crush ring that fits between the filter and motor. Make sure you replace that with each new filter.

lon777,

Great, I knew I heard about it somewhere. :wink:

Thanks for the right info.

You are of course right. $5.00 is much better than $4,000
