Hey Lil,

Can you educate me a little bit more if you have the inclination and time? Sorry LB, this is definitely off-topic of your hot new ride.

Why the oil change at 650 - 700 miles? I have had brand new Hondas which recommended that I keep the new oil to at least 5,000 miles as it had supposedly "specially formulated" break-in oil that was to help with the break in process. I know I am comparing apples to oranges but why change the oil at 650? Metal fragments, impurities, new motor problems?

Thanks,
