Engine oil OEM Honda or ZIC

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.

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

Used zic for several years with no issues. This year lang ako nagpalit ng ibang brand since nagmahal na zic dun sa suking auto supply ko.

I’ve been using zic oil for 6 years now. Ok naman I did not experience any issue.

Did the break in oil change at 750 miles on my FL5 and was shocked at how bad the oil was. If you took a bright light to it there was lots of fine metallic debris in there.
