I need advice on when to get my first oil change on my 2021 Type R. She is bone stock and has 2200 miles on her, and the oil from the factory is special and eats the metal shavings in the break-in period. Honda recommends not changing the oil for the first 5,000 miles.
At the pace I am putting miles on her currently, it will be six years to seven years before her first oil change.
This seems super dangerous to me either way. Change the oil now and have metal shavings mess up the engine down the road, or drive around with seven-year-old oil.
Still, trying to figure out what to do here?
