This was copied from Honda owner link but like the other guy said read the
manual...........................................W hy should I wait to change
the oil the first time?

Your Honda engine was delivered with an oil that is specially formulated for
new engines that have not yet developed their "natural" wear patterns and may
contain minute particles from the manufacturing process.


American Honda strongly recommends this special oil be left in the engine long
enough for these wear patterns to develop, usually until the first maintenance
interval specified in your Owner's Manual, based on your specific driving
conditions.

How often should I change my oil after the first service?

Refer to your owner's manual for the recommended service intervals. Separate
maintenance schedules are listed for "normal service" and "severe service."
Read the description of severe service carefully. Most vehicles will fall under
the normal service category. Note that the service intervals are listed by time
in addition to distance. Your oil should be changed at whichever interval, time
or distance, occurs first.


There is absolutely no benefit in changing your oil more frequently than
recommended in your owner's manual. This will only increase your cost of
ownership, and create an unnecessary burden upon the environment by increasing
the amount of disposed oil.


Do not exceed the recommended maintenance interval. Oil eventually
deteriorates and loses its ability to protect your engine, due to heat,
friction, and exposure to exhaust components. Engine oil contains special
additives to enhance the oil's performance, and these additives are also broken
down or consumed with distance and time. Engine damage can occur if the proper
maintenance schedule is not followed.
