I'm doing my best to follow the manual and by listening to those who know more than I do but I'd be lying if I said it didn't make me sweat! When my Fit was closing in on 7K before doing the first oil change, I was a wreck !

how many miles do you have on it now and does it burn or have any problems from 7k oil change intervals? I use Mobil 1 full synthetic and I don’t let it go past 5kmiles.

Not knocking you at all, but the F20C and F22C never had a timing belt, all S2000's had timing chains

yea service managers will lie , it's how they make money for their mechanics , toyota and honda mechanics don't really see alot
of big labor jobs coming in . i know the chains in the early K motors were oiled from the oil pan , if your oil level went too low the
chain starves and will stretch , it gets noisy , could even pull a code .probably most chains are oiled this way .if you've never gone that low , the chain is probably fine ,
