Solution
1. Manufacturer Recommendation
  • Generally, Honda recommends changing the engine oil and oil filter every 7,500 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first, under normal driving conditions.
2. Severe Driving Conditions
  • If frequently driving in severe conditions (stop-and-go traffic, extreme temperatures, towing, or driving on rough roads), consider changing the oil every 3,750 miles or 6 months.
3. Oil Life Monitoring System
  • If equipped, monitor the oil life percentage displayed on the dashboard. Change the oil when the percentage drops to 15% or lower.
4. Check Oil Level Regularly
  • Regularly check the oil level using the dipstick to ensure it remains within the recommended range. Top off if necessary.
