Hi all
I have scanned the thread topics but couldn't see information about the frequency of engine oil changes for a (1999, DC2) Honda Integra Type-R.
Honda originally recommended an engine oil change every six months or 4,500 miles for the vehicle.
I have been having an annual service, performed by Honda, but wonder whether I should change the engine oil myself, ahead of the car's winter hibernation, so it would have fresh oil every six months?
The car does not cover a high annual mileage, being brought out to play as and when time and the weather permits, travelling an average of less than 1,000 miles a year. However, that in itself could be reason enough to change the oil.
Engine oils have advanced a little since the car was manufactured. Should I stick with an annual service and no six-monthly DIY engine oil change, or should I add the latter to my list of maintenance for the car? Bear in mind, I want the best for it.
If anyone is qualified to share insight in this area, or has direct experience of this era Integra, please do share your views.
Thanks
James
