Hi, i just bought my car (automatic) and did the 1000km service. Its ran about 2700kms now and im not sure if i need an oil change. I know its done every 10000km but i didnt get an oil change @ 1000km from the service centre. So im not sure if its a good idea to get one. My car seems to use alot of fuel...around over 11L/100km in city area..and it seems as though many other euros have better fuel consumption..so yeah is it hard to also change oil and stuff? do i hvae to buy honda branded oil filter ?

do what is stated in the service manual.. stick with 6 months/10000km service. the reason you needed for the 1000km service was in order to make sure everything in ur car is oprational.... and as for fuel consumption... ur car is still under break-in period and a bit worse consumption is understandable :D:D (i got about 20l for the MDX for the first 2500km :P) just make sure u dun rav hard for the first 5000km maybe until ur engine is fully breaked-in:D
anyway, congrats on ur purchase!
