Engine oil OEM Honda or FUCHS

My old 8th gen, I changed it once the maintenance minder popped to zero. Never sooner. My logic, easy driving, quality oil, I'm well within safe margins. That car was fed mobil 1 most of its life. Valvetrain stayed bright aluminum. OCI's we're near 6800 miles.

8k miles is just fine. I did that the entire time I've had multiple cars and they have gone a great distance:

I use my 09 Fit as a courier vehicle. I've driven over 80,000 miles in 14 months. If I did oil changes every 5k miles, I'd be under the car every 3 weeks.

I just follow the maintenance minder, which works out to 10k miles, give or take, but I've done that over all the 175,000 miles I've put on it in 10 years. I use Castrol GTX high mileage, but I'm sure it doesn't make much difference. I've seen a lot of stuff saying Walmart Supertech is probably just as good,if not better than name brand oils.

I do my own valve adjustments, and the inside of the engine is nice and clean...

I drive my car pretty hard, so 5k is preferred for me.

I change mine every 5K.

Worth the piece of mind to me considering it a turbo engine.

I do mine every 5k. It maybe adds one extra oil change a year for me, if that.

Fuchs Titan pro 5w50

I've always put Honda GN4 in mine and whatever recommended weight stated in your manual :)

Last oil change I've decided to try what my friends run and bought FUCHS GERMANY: TITAN SYN MC 10W-40 and put 2k km on it, I'm pleased, it's nice greasy and cheap

I have oil analysis done in my TDI and a 10K OCI is a reach. The factory fill was almost depleted of wear additives at 5,500 miles. Fuchs Titan GT-1 was still serviceable at 7,000 miles, but I would not have carried it out beyond that.
