So, how much longer will an engine last that has had 3-4000 mile oil changes vs. one that only gets an oil change every 7500 miles?
 
You're assuming that oil at 7500 miles offers significantly less protection than at 4000. Why not change hte oil at 1000 then? Why is 3000 OK and 2000 too short???
 
The reality is 3000 miles itnervals were originally used as a standard for older cars with inferior engine seals, piston rings, incomplete combustion, among other issues. On top of that, oil quality and performance has improved dramatically.
 
All mfg's recommed at least 5000 and most 7500 or even 10,000 unless it's "severe" duty, where the engine spnds a lot of time idling (taxis, police cars, commercial use) or at high RPM's (towing).

Frustrated too by redrock3

I am fighting to have my 2006 Honda CR-V repaired. My differential is also making noise. The dealership in Co Springs; Front Range Honda, told me that I needed to change the differential fluid at 10,000 miles and since I didn't have it changed then I basically breeched my warrenty and now I have to pay for any repairs!! What a lie!
I have called Am Honda Motor Co., Inc and they just repeated what the dealership told me! Can you believe this!? I even told them that my manual states that 90,000 miles or 5 years is the recommeded time for changing differential fluid and they still tell me that it should have been done at 10,000 miles!!! I am so angry that they are talking to me like this. I can't believe that they keep telling me this outright lie to my face! I am fighting a fight but who do I call now? Help - I'm pulling my hair out!:-

I think the FTC handles Magnuson-Moss warranty type complaints.

Call Honda corporate and explain that if they did not issue an ammended manual with the 10,000 mile intervals they are violating FTC regulations and can be subject to sanctions.

I continue to think that Honda's vehicles are great, but that their dealerships and US headquarters are unethical. This is starting to look like a good candidate for a class action lawsuit. Their technical bulletin is very clear about the fact that this is a warranty repair. Period.

Differential fluid by hathib

I recently purchased my 2006 crv se (45,000 miles) which I had leased new back in 2006. Had front and rear brakes done at firestone and was concerned about the noise in the rear of my car. The mechanic there said that 2006 honda's were known for this sound which he thought could be fixed with replacing the differential fluid. I went to honda yesterday, paid $70 to have the differential fluid replaced and will post tomorrow if it worked!

The mechanic was correct. Go back in this thread and look for the TSB concerning the rear diff.....Even though you waited a long time to replace the rear diff fluid (never mind that the manual says change every 90k or some absurd mileage figure) (you should replace it every 30k with Honda Dual Pump Fluid II) Your Honda dealer should refund the 70 bucks.
