Read the owner's manual, it has a maintence schedule. Use it as your bible from now on!

Boilermaker1 is a splendid one to behold

You can change the oil when ever you want. Honda told me to go 4000-5000 on the factory oil because it has a couple of things in it to help break in the engine. I don't know if it really does, but I had the dealer change it with dino juice at 4800, then at 9600 I went to Mobil 1.
