Default First oil Change

How long am I supposed to run the oil from honda in my ap2. I;m almost at 3000 miles. I know honda most of the time uses a different oil in new cars. Just wanted to know if there is a different service interval for that oil.

It's totally up to you if you want to change it earlier.

You have a 2007 S2000, The car will tell you when it needs an oil change.

Anywhere between 10-15% oil life. usually about 4500 ->5000 miles.

I am getting my first oil change tommorow, at 4900 miles.

My wife has a 2006 Honda Accord at first i would tell her to get an oil change every 3000miles until like the 3rd or 4th oil change when the Honda guys told us we were coming in WAY to early and to wait until it read 10-15% oil life.
The Accord now has 50, 000 miles and we have been getting oil change every ~6-7000 miles she drives her car lightly.

I changed mine at 2700 with Amsoil 5w30. No evidence to support reason. Just research done on this board.
