Getting the best performance from your Honda means keeping up with the recommended service schedule in your owner’s manual. One of the most frequent services your Honda needs is an oil change, but the intervals for this service at your Honda dealer will depend on the type of oil your Honda uses.
How Often Should Your Honda Get an Oil Change?
In the past, the recommended oil service interval was every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, which was usually every three months. Today, new motor oil formulas using synthetic materials increase the lifespan of the oil in your car. If your Honda uses synthetic oil, you will only need to schedule oil service every 7,500 to 10,000 miles.
Why Is Synthetic Oil Better?
Synthetic oil is the preferred type of oil for most modern engines. Aside from the much longer lifespan, there are a few reasons why synthetic oil is preferable to conventional oil. For one thing, synthetic oil is specifically formulated to withstand temperature fluctuations and resist oil breakdown. This means the oil in your engine will withstand the heat of your engine even during the summer and will keep the same silky, smooth viscosity even in the coldest months of the year.
Synthetic oil is also much better at shielding your engine from corrosion and friction. Corrosion from other chemicals in your car can compromise the performance of your engine, while friction from poor lubrication can cause premature wear and tear on your engine. Synthetic oil tackles both problems much more effectively than conventional oil. You can check your owner’s manual to see if your Honda uses synthetic oil.
