Does Anyone Follow The "normal" Service Schedule?
I'm just wondering if anyone here follows the "normal" service schedule and changes the oil at 7500 miles instead of at 3750. The reason I ask is because my driving conditions more closely resemble the normal maintenance conditions.
I don't think it will hurt my S to change according to severe conditions, but how do you feel about adhering to the normal maintenance intervals?

Here in the UK, our service schedule is every 9000 miles. We don't have the 'severe driving' to deal with.
So to answer your question, I would stick to the Honda Service schedule, but I change my oil every 4500 miles i.e half way between the European recommended service.
Howz it over in San Diego, its cold and miserable here in the UK at the moment!

looked at the oil in mine at 4500 miles and decided it was better to get it changed. Nice to have the book all stamped up with all the interim services too when it comes to sale time though mine dind't get that far
