What Happens if I Don’t Get an Oil Change?
While you can go a few hundred miles beyond the manufacturer specifications and not have an issue, driving beyond your scheduled oil change interval can result in some major problems if done repeatedly or for an extended period.
Your engine oil breaks down over time, both due to heat cycles and the friction that occurs inside your engine. The constant churning combined with the heating, cooling, and re-heating that happens when you go for a drive, park, and then start your car the next day causes your oil to lose its ability to coat your internal engine parts properly. As your oil becomes more aged it becomes thinner and less viscous (lubricating), and that is when extreme engine wear becomes a problem. Any poorly-coated parts will wear more quickly, eventually causing power loss, blow-by, and even the dreaded engine knock that spells the end for any engine. Having your engine oil changed regularly maintains the proper lubrication your engine needs to run smoothly, and will help your Honda run for up to hundreds of thousands of miles.
