- Oil and filter advice I should clarify... Manual says change ever 12,000KM (or 12mths) with OEM Honda oil, but replace with OEM oil filter every 6,400KM. Why would ya drain the oil, replace oil filter and put old oil back in? Kinda doesn't…

- Oil and filter advice Just checked the manual and with the OEM Honda oil filter and oil this is what they say; REGULAR = EVERY 8,000 mi (12,800 km) or 12 months. That seems like A LOT of KMs to me.
