I just got my 07 Honda Civic but when does first oil change due? Is it at 3000 or 5000 miles?

 

It's due when your car displays the maintenance light A1. Mine came on at about 5200miles. It will come on when your oil life reaches 20% I believe.

 

watch your oil life % it will tell you when its time, did mine at 4400.

 

The light comes on at 15% and will stay on until reset. The meter decreases 10% at a time. Saw alot of people changing the oil from 1000 to 4000 miles because they changed to synthetic. As far as I know, no one had any issues.

 

The inital oil has break in additives that need to stay in till around 5k miles or the computer says your at 15% oil life.

 

Be sure to check your oil level in case you use some during the break-in. You don't want to ruin that sweet motor.
