Took my '07 Accord V6 back to the selling dealer for its first oil change. I
bought the car just over 11 months ago, the maintenance minder showed 5% oil
life left with 6570 miles on the odometer-- I don't drive much...

The service writer starting chewing my ass for going beyond 6 months for the
oil change. I showed him the Owner's Manual where it says to change the oil
the first time at one year if the oil life minder didn't call for a change
yet. I also mentioned that I had been concerned about going so long on the
oil and had called American Honda around 6 months ago and they said to leave
that first oil in there until the minder said to change it or a year was up.

So what's what?
