When car shopping last month, I was told by the Acura saleman, that you had
to change the oil for the TSX, every 10,000 miles. (!)

I own a 94 Honda Accord I-4 (4 cyl) , and if I recall, Honda said I only
have to change the oil (on my VTEC engine) every 6,000 miles (but I usually
do it more frequently).

(I'm simplifying of course, leaving out the # of months)

I agree it seems every 3,000 miles is the general rule for cars in general.
