How often are you supposed to get a oil change?

3000 or 5000 or 10000? My car has 13000 right now? I got my first oil change at 10000 from the dealer.

every 3-5000 depending on the type of oil u get.. some synthetic oils wont need to be changed till even 7000 miles... if you did not change with synthetic change soon especially if you drive your car a bit hard. but with synthetic your car should be alright ..

if you always get oil changed at the dealer, just buy mobil 1 synthetic and bring it to the dealership and tell them to put that oil in instead of honda oil... but its not that hard to change oil with our cars, and plus i dont trust dealerships with my car.. if you need help let me know ill help you out i live in cali too..

Owners manual says every 5K-10K, 10K for nomal driving and 5K for lots of trips of 5 miles or less. Dealer put a sticker on my car to bring it back in at 7500.
