I'm picking up my new '05 Silverstone/Black tomorrow and the dealer told me that I will need to keep it under 5500 RPM's for the first 600 miles. I don't have the owner's manual yet so I can't confirm this. Anyway, if it's true (probably is) how the HECK did you guys do it? I mean, 600 miles for me will be like a month of commuting. I don't think I'll be able to make it....

some do, some don't. this is a very debateable topic. in fact, some heated discussion might occur. lol.


my recommendations to you. leave the factory oil in for the first 5000 miles. the factory oil has a high moly count and other addatives that help the car break in properly.

also if you are going to use synthetic do not do so until at least 7500-10,000 miles. if you change the oil at 5000 miles, use honda OEM 10w30 or mobil drive clean, since that's what honda rebadges as their own oil anyways.
