Honda is saying "there are no Normal conditions in Canada".  Hence the website defaulting to 6,000km for all S2Ks in Canada. But yes, why are we arguing semantics? We agree that 6 month 6,000km OCI is good.
Don't the newer S2Ks have oil minders? When do they go off? |
There's no argument. All I was saying is there is inconsistency on when the recommended oil change is, depending on what source you use. I realize that 6000 represents severe conditions (i.e. Canada). But even so:
For severe conditions, owner's manual says change it every 6,000km or
six months.
But if you go to honda.ca and choose S2000, it says change it every 6,000km or
three months (both normal and severe).
06 and up had the "Maintenance Minder". Mine is an 05, so I'm not sure.
Regardless, I've been sticking with changing oil every six months. I'm only driving around 10,000 kms per year. I'm not worried.
