I got an email from Honda saying my new 2007 Honda LX is due for it's
first maintenance, an oil change.

Do I have to do this maintenance after 3 months, despite the fact that
I only have 1000 miles on my new car?

I thought you were supposed to do the maintenance when the oil light
came on, on the dashboard?

No? What's the deal here?

I want to do the scheduled maintenances in order to keep my warranty
good, but an oil change after only 1000 miles???
