I took delivery of a new Honda Odyssey on April 10. In the past I have had the first oil change performed at the 1000 mile mark and then every 3 months or 3750 miles thereafter, whichever came first.
I have always used the recomended oil viscosity for my vehicles and have never tried synthetic.
We have mixed driving conditions - my wife will be the primary driver and has about a 4 mile commute to and from work everyday on city streets. The vehicle usually gets most of its milage from trips to see the parents - 750-1000 miles roundtrip and on driving vacations.
What would other HTF members recommend for oil changes - the first one and those thereafter and what oil - if different from the manufacturers (5W-20) recommendations?
