Manual says every 7.5-10k miles on synthetic, I tend to change it every 4-6k, usually on the lower end of that. I still had to get the engine rebuilt from a short block at 87k, but it was a mechanical design failure, not a lubrication failure. My BMW had one, supposedly it needed an oil change every 15k or 12 months, whichever came sooner. I got it changed every 3000 miles on the dot. My 2015 Honda accord with 60k miles had one. It also consumed 5 quarts of oil every 5000 miles. Never said anything was wrong, even that day when I started it up, heard a knock, and killed it. Turns out it was dry on oil. When changing my oil I could drain everything g, put on a new filter, pour a 5 quart jug in, start and check the oil level, it would be dead on. That day when I heard the noise, it took 5 quarts to get it back to full. I’ll never buy a newer Honda again. No better than domestic automakers now.</blockquote>
