P1000 Not seeing it. 100 mile oil change

[Kelldog]

Just as i expcted. I babied my machine first 100 miles. Never went over 12 mph. Oil was perfectly fine by the naked eye. No metal shavings

Oh, I hope not!! Or at the least, that was on one of the earlier clutches that suffered from infant mortality syndrome.

wow, did honda replace them?

I always try to change the oil in a new engine before 100 miles, there's an unknown amount of machining/assembly debris that I want out ASAP, some will be worse than others.

 

[Smitty335]

wow, did honda replace them?

Yes two times.

OP, I kind of feel the same way. How many car or truck manufacturers require an oil change at 100 miles? I will guess, ZERO! Are the manufacturing processes significantly different? I think not. With that said, I did the 100 mile change on my Talon. It felt like a waste of 6 perfectly good quarts of oil.

I agree with you.

For those who choose to change oil and filter at 100 miles I'm sure it won't hurt anything. Extra caution is not a bad idea but probably not necessary.

Manufacturing methods, metallurgy, lubricants, and filtration are all vastly improved from what they were many years ago when some of us were young.

Some non-mechanical types buy new cars and trucks and just drive them without regard for routine maintenance. They trade them in after the last payment is made and buy another. I could never do that but they get away with it.

When I was active on a Dodge-Cummins website several years ago some yahoos went to great effort to come up with the goofiest ideas I ever heard. Some would change the engine oil filters and top off the oil but never change the oil. Others would send oil samples off to labs instead of simply changing the oil. The labs supposedly to examine the oil and send them back a computer-generated report of micron-sized particles in the oil. The samples cost about as much as three gallons of Shell Rotella 15-40 and a Fleetguard filter. The mighty Cummins engines ignored their goofy efforts and kept on performing for hundreds of thousands of miles. Modern engines are tough and durable.

I repurpose oil like that for the chainsaw etc.

I changed my 700 at 100 miles. Probably fine to not change oil but definitely should change filter.
