Re: Oil Changes every 8000km
in 2001 they switched engines, so yes, its quite possible, if your nervous

Well, my 2001 Accord (V6) gets an oil change only at 7000 or 8000 miles (that works out to 11,200km to 12,800km if I did the math right), and after 115,000 it still runs beautifully. That 5000km number you are reading, is that normal driving or severe schedule?
