Default 1ST OIL CHANGE AT 2K


I have an 05. I am going to change my oil at 2k. I am just wondering what Brand and weight of oil did everybody use. I am undecided but I may go with Honda Motor Oil. Any suggestions. Any feed back would be appreciated.

You might want to read the owner's manual. The oil from the factory has "break in" additives. They recommend that you leave this oil in for 7500 miles. Admittedly, I changed my oil sooner because I started autocrossing the car at just over 3000 miles ( I just couldn't wait to push this car some) but I not sure it wouldn't have been better to follow the factory recommendations.
