The factory fill oil is "special" it contains high amounts of moly to help break-in. I'm a tech at an Acura dealership and was one at Honda, there's actually a service bulletin explaining it because the oil tends to look dark and dealerships were changing it to early.
But I also don't agree with leaving the oil in there until the minder says to change it. Someone here had an oil analysis done on the oil from the first oil change that was done at 6K miles I think and the oil analysis company said it was a good time from what showed up in the oil.
Just because honda designed the maintenance schedule doesn't make it the best; there's lots of stuff they designed that has problems. I'd rather be safe than sorry.
