oil change/mid question
i have two questions:
1. i got my first oil change/A1 service a couple months ago @ about 6500 miles, i think it was the middle of january. my mileage right now is currently at 10200 and the sticker the acura dealership put up says the next oil change should be 10200 or 4/17/2007. but my MID says that there is 50% oil life left. should i get an oil change right now or do i wait until the MID says to get an oil change?
2. i hate getting oil changes every 3 months. is there an oil that i can buy that will go for a long time that i can give to the dealer to use for the future so that i dont have to get oil changes as frequently?
thanks

Oil Changes
I wait until the MID tells me to change it.
Honda recommends oil changes every 7500 miles on most of their cars...the MID has me change my oil every 6000 miles or so.
The dealership just wants to make a few extra bucks.

Follow the Maintenance-Minder System ( MID ) for all routine service work. The three month oil change rule is a myth. I spoke with a Acura Case Manager about this a couple of weeks ago and he told me to always go with the Maintenance-Minder System ( MID ) unless it's an emergency.
