Default How often do you change ur earl?

I was reading a review about different oil filters and came across this statement

"Honda recommends that you change the oil in your Prelude every 7500 miles. Many dealers attempt to get you change the oil in your car every 3000 miles. Changing your oil every 3000 miles is basically a complete waste of your money, and bad for the environment. (That used oil needs to go somewhere...)

In general on Hondas or not how often do you change your oil? I do it every 3000 but now Im reconsidering.

3000 is way to early imo. I usually go at 5000 since I use cheapo oil. Whatever is one sale at wal-mart.

I change my oil and filter every 3000 miles... how is it bad for the environment? Unless you dump it outside... I put it in gallon jugs and take it to a local gas station, they send it off to a recycling plant...

My truck is super cool and tells me when it's time to change it. It usually says to change it about every 6000 miles, but it depends on driving conditions.

I drive a Mustang, it is more high tech than your gay Hondas. It has a built in feature that uses the motor to burn off the bad oil so it changes its own oil. It also has a light like Dr. Boost's truck except mine says "low oil"
