its just a ploy by honda to have u take it into the dealershit so they can make money...all u need to do is what u said u needed...other mantenance comes around 35k-40k miles such as a basic tune up

3,000 mile oil change is subjective, if you use a synthetic, you can go 5,000-7,500 depending on the oil, 10,000 if you use the LC20. Normal cheap mineral oil, go 3,000.
If you have more than 50k, I highly reccomend Valvoline Max Life with a 4,000 mile oil change (4,000 is good for blend like that)
The maintance light is sticked in the maintance section
