funny how this guy knows so much abut cars but the Honda Enginners design these engines to go 200k w/o any problems and that's with the prior 3k intervals, now they are designed to go 7.5k on an oil change because of an updated PCV system. And FWIW i have read that guys info and severly disagree with his opinions but like he says it's a controversial topic(every dealer tech and engine builder that i would deal with disagrees with him). You do realize that even changing the oil after 100 miles the rings don't even completely seat for about 2k miles right?? oh and you realize that a loose motor makes power, loose=fast but short lived
tight=less powerful but lasts longer. Sorry but i'll trust our guys in our R&D department, they tend to have a good idea of what's going on.

But i wouldn't know anything about all that.
