Does anyone know where I can get the Honda maintenance schedule for my lude?

JDMF22B

Oil change every 3,000 miles

Rotate tires if u want ~12,000-15,000 to stretch out life


Maintenance every 30,000 miles on the mark (30k, 60k, 90k, 120k so forth).

What do u need to know???

Your owner's manual should have your maintenence schedules in it.

That's way too frequent. The owner's manual calls for 7500 miles. I run Mobil 1 10w30 for 10,000 miles (and it could go longer, too).

no its not! i work for a dealership and when they do the oil change, they put a reminder sticker says the next oil change in 6000kms, so why would they go off from the owners manual?

Because they want you to come in sooner so they can charge you for oil changes you don't need. They are in business to make money. It's 7500 miles on the damned maintenance schedule in the 5th gen owners manual. I should know, I have one.
