It is not a myth, but Honda may deny your warranty claims if you double your
oil change intervals and something non-oil related goes wrong with the car,
so it is not adviseable while you're still under warranty. Also, time is a
factor, not just mileage. FYI, here's a Camaro that did 18K miles on Mobil
1.

If a big ole American engine could do it, I'm sure a well-engineered Honda
engine can do it as well.
