Replying to: jpl (Jun 29, 2008 11:44 am) 1) Yes - skips and sometimes jams altogether like there is something in the tracks. Jimmy Hoffa?  2) Yes from high speed. Suggest you have rotors checked for warping - the pulsation of braking can casue the whole fonrt end to shimmy. Since it happens only when braking, I put my money on warped rotors. 3) No |

I live in Canada where it gets really cold in the winter. Last Dec I purchased a 2008 Accord V6 and today it has slightly over 3000 miles on it. The oil change light still says 70% so at this rate I will go through two winters without ever changing the original oil. Does this seem right or maybe there is something wrong with that indicator. I change the oil every 3000 miles on my truck and always before winter. |

Replying to: thegraduate (Jul 01, 2008 11:37 am) My manual seems a little ambiguous about the time to change oil on the 2008 V-6. On page 308 it states " 15 and 10% oil life indicators remind you that your vehicle will soon be due for maintenance." It also states "when the remaining oil life is 5 to 1% you will see a SERVICE message along with the same maintenance codes ...." Inasmuch as it's desirable to keep the factory oil in the crankcase as long as possible I opted to perform my first oil change when the 5% message first appeared. This occurred at approximately 9400 miles. |

According to the service manager at the dealership where I get my 08 Accord serviced, it is first recommended to not change the first factory oil until the remaining oil life is 15%. No explanation was given as to why this is important. According to other car manufacturers such as Mercedes and Porsche, it is recommended to get your oil changed at least one time every year regardless of miles driven.
