    If you do take it in for the "600" , and I'm not saying you should, then make sure they check the final drive levels. For piece of mind if nothing else.

    I'll admit I'm a sucker for these service dept sales pitches. I brought mine in at 700 miles for same thing. Same price as yours too!

    But Big TP is right. The engineers know this engine and what it needs. Not only do they suggest a 4,000 mile oil change then every 8k, they have to guarantee this maintenance schedule with a three year/unlimited mileage warranty! What convinced me was the extended warranty. Honda will cover your engine for 7 years and unlimited mileage with these service intervals. Some folks here could be past 150k miles after 7 years, yet the maintenance schedule remains unchanged.

    Last time I checked Honda likes to be profitable and replacing engines for people who followed their advice does not balance that equation.
