I'll put in another word for the 3000 mile oil change. Especially on Hondas (tighter clearances than other engine makes), you need clean oil at all times. Assuming $30 oil changes and 20,000 miles a year, you save all of $80 a year by getting it changed every 5,000 instead of 3,000 miles. It's sheer stupidity to risk wrecking a $25,000 or more car for 80 bucks.
With the Hondas, if you get 'em changed every 3,000 religiously (new filter too, don't cheap out), they'll run damn near forever. 300,000 is not uncommon mileage for older hondas that have been properly cared for. Not only will they still run at 300,000, but they'll still run as well as they did when they were new.
