First FL5 oil change mileage?

[TDC50]

Yep, Quickjack 5000. It just barely fits the lift points of the Type R. If you perform your own service like brake flushes and fluid replacement it is an awesome tool to have. I service multiple cars so it gets used a lot.

Had my oil changed at the dealer at 4300 miles and they applied it to the service agreement. I felt this was a good mileage where it still allowed the break in oil to do its job but not so long it could be a detriment. I’ll probably use the maintenance reminder from this point on or every 5-6K miles.

First oil change today at 6k w Amsoil Signature 0w-20. I was at 50% on the maintenance minder btw.

Edit - wow what a difference! Super smooth revs and seems to have more power down low (could be perceived) and just purrs now.

Just changed mine today @ 4843 miles. Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0w-20. MM was @ 60%

How many of you will do their first FL5 oil change before 2000 miles ?

I’m going to do mine at 1k

I just got an email from my dealership telling me it has been 6 months and it may be time to schedule maintenance.

TL or TLX? I assume TL, since the TLX has the extended arms for up to 76” frames.

Mine is the 5000SLX, an older version. It is for 60” max and just makes it for the Type R lift points. I have a Corvette that if I got the longer version it wouldn’t fit. If the Type R is the smallest distance between lift points of cars you have than you may want to consider going longer but double check. Here is a website of the 5000SLX dimensions:

Interesting review.

I changed oil (and filter) of my FL5 when it reached 5.000 kms. I also contracted the Honda maintenance service (five years) when I bought the car, for 1.400 euros (does not include wearing parts). I insisted on an oil change -Castrol Edge- (cant choose another) at my dealer even though the maintenance schedule did not yet indicate it. My idea is to make an extra change between each scheduled maintenance. The replaced oil came out with a curious greenish color, perhaps because it had some additive for break in period.

I hate using quick jack. I got it and I feel it to heavy and by the time I have it setup i would had been done with oil change. But to do coilover or something that require a lot of work it worth the time.

I’m intrigued by the Quickjack lineup. I do all my own maintenance on several cars and have wanted something like this for awhile. Is Quickjack the better name? Who else is out there? Which is the preferred one for the type R? How about that and a 2023 Pilot?

I see someone say the one they have barely fits… is there a next size up?

Same... somewhat because of your suggestion, but also because i've probably got plenty of high-RPMS on the engine already from track/xcross that it will be close to the proper "interval" at that time.

I just pulled the trigger on the Quickjack 5000TLX line, and based on the span, it will fit my CTR and the 2023 Pilot.

I have the quickjack and I love it. A little heavy but it makes working on the cars easy. Also yeah changing the oil is cheap insurance of keeping the engine happy.

First oil change is at 15% or approx 8500 miles
