Wow, 2k almost seems dangerous - if there's not enough time for the detergents to burn off they'll accumulate and do bad things!

7500 miles, syn oil + Honda filter.

+1 on the 3000 mi is overkill (great band BTW), save the environment a little, don't be an oil company's marketing lemming, got better things to do with my time, train of thought

ok, I change my engine, tranny and diff oil every 3000-3500miles.

While the S is on jackstands, the extra $ and effort is negligible.

if you run synthetic there is no point in changing at 3k
