Its true, filter every second oil change. Oil should be 0-20 wt! Read the section on maint. and it explains what A & B-1,2,3,4,&5 are, when the minder tells you, what requires service. Cheers, H

I just called the shop and confirmed they use Honda 0-20 oil and they always change the filter. They knew Honda didn't call for it and could not figure out why.
I though it was a good point that if you don't change the filter for A1 you could push more than 15,000 miles before changing your filter. For $6.50 it's cheap insurance. Also, I'm sure a clogged filter hurts FE.
Weird.

I went to a private mechanic today to schedule an oil change. He said that I should go to the dealer for the first oil change. I guess I'll have to make another trip over there. I will be requesting that my oil filter is changed, by the way.
