Why should I wait to change the oil the first time?

Your Acura engine was delivered with an oil that is specially formulated for new engines that have not yet developed their "natural" wear patterns and may contain minute particles from the manufacturing process. American Honda strongly recommends this special oil be left in the engine long enough for these wear patterns to develop, usually until the first maintenance interval specified in your Owner's Manual, based on your specific driving conditions.

It's cool stuff. Kinda yellow/greenish in color. Super thin. Like put a drop on your finger and within a second or two it'll slide down past your wrist, leaving the whole surface slick. Pretty cool.
I've got a bottle w/ about 2 quarts in it.
Drained the pan of the last crate ITR motor last year and me and my friend both got some.
Hell, I figure 2 qts. of this stuff could be good for my next shortblock..

 

ohhhhh. its like "honda gold".

 

It looked black to me, but that was after 3000 miles. Hope my motor was broken in by then.
