So I'm already at 74xx today and will be scheduling my first maintenance. Since June 6th, I've already done almost 7500 miles! Sheesh. About 4k miles is 2x PA -> MI trips so that accounts for about 4k miles. I suppose 3500 miles over 3 months isn't too bad not counting the trips.

How's everyone else doing on driving the heck out of these cars or maintaining low miles? Good thing I got the 8yr/125k warranty

I'm planning on harassing dealers to do an oil change at 3k miles or just tell them to give me the oils and filter and I'll do the labor myself haha.
I'm currently just a little over 2k miles now ..

Just broke 3k miles. Already had an oil change around 1500 just because.

kinda crazy to me that dealer says no oil change till 7500 miles.
told me cause its synthetic... i never heard of this before

Did my first at 1,500, doing my second at 3k and 7,500 will be my third. I'm a lil anal when it comes to break-in and first oil changes.

I'm right around 4K now. I've been driving a bit more than usual this year (I wonder why?)...

Interval on VW/Audi with Syn is 10K and Merc interval on some cars is 15K.

You must not get out much... lol.

i guess not...my daddy taught me 3k was the magic number.

guess its time i take a step out of the cave huh?

jschendel · 09-05-2012, 01:44 PM

up to 4500 miles, had it for a little over a month.

13FT86 · 09-05-2012, 02:10 PM

I haven't had mine for even 48 hours & I already did around 300 miles (which is something I've never done before).

ST185RC · 09-05-2012, 02:14 PM

had my car for 3 months now and the clock is 2750KM ~ 1719 Miles. Damn and I thought i was wracking up the mileage on my car...

Almost to 3500 in just over 3 months. Guess that puts me in the middle of this pack.

You should talk to someone else at your dealer then, the first oil change is supposed to be at 3000 miles accord to the manual, and then 7500 miles per change after that, or 3750 if you live in a severe condition area, which actually is probably 90% of drivers as living near the ocean, in an area that gets snow or an area that's very dust are "severe condition" areas.

I'm almost to 5000 miles now on mine since mid June.
