How many miles have you racked up on your GE8?

I bought my GE8 in October 2008.

Mileage: 8K miles

 

Had mine 2 months... 4000 miles on it this morning

 

5225.. and still 50 % oil life.

bought it in labor day weekend of 08

 

nov 17th and i only put on 2700 miles

 

That sounds about right. I was at 50% oil life too around 5K. I changed the oil at 6K.

 

it just seems weird to me. the cars i've owned were alway changed at 3k. so changing it wayyyyyyy later then usual cars is a bit scary.

 

Well usually for brand new cars, you should wait a little longer before you do your first oil change. The engine has a special break-in oil right now. So that's why you should wait a little longer than 3K miles.

 

Lol dont worry..its fine. Specially on the first change your supposed to wait it out because I hear honda puts in an extra additive for the first cycle.

 

exactly 1 month since purchase and have 1,600 miles on it.

 

Bought Aug 27 - day after release. 6,350 miles, 50% oil.

 

Got mine in October, 4,1XX miles. 70% oil life.

 

got in beginning of november
2400 on it right now
Are you guys sure we not soppose to change the engine oil sooner than 3 k for the first oil change?
Where are you guys getting this information from?
I work at a HONDA Dealership, and a lot of the mechanics are telling me to change it at 3k and to dont buy into the 5k oil change shiet.......

 

probably bout 500miles on hers. not sure.

 

I don't trust Honda mechanics.

 

270 miles
I'm a youngin still...ha

 

about 6500 miles bought october 08, i'll probably take it in this weekend for an oil change and tire rotation

 

I thought the wife had a few miles on hers but I guess not. Around 5,900 and we bought ours day of release. Almost 2,000 of those miles or so are from vacation.

 

The maintenance is there for a reason. Would Honda say change it at 3?

People who design/made car > average joe Honda mechanic

 

About 1400 after a little over a month. Oil is at 90%.

 

2999 KM (metric) when I parked in my garage today.
