I'm sure your manual clearly states what "extreme circumstances" are. Most
people in fact fall in this category. IIRC, they include lots of short
trips, lots of stop-and-go traffic, driving in dusty areas, etc. Unless you
mainly do long highway trips, your circumstances are "extreme".

I doubt snow and salty roads apply, though. The worst that's going to do is
corrode your Accord's body and other parts. I doubt changing the oil more
frequently is going to cure it. ;-)
