How many miles/months before the next oil change after synthetic oil change?
I just got an oil change my 2000 Honda Odyssey using Synthetic oil.. How many miles/months before the next change?
Walmart Oil and Lube says 3-4 months or 5k. Clic and Clack (Tom and Ray Magliozzi) of Cartalk.com say regular oil changes (non-synthetic) should be in 5kmiles/6 months intervals.
I have normal driving conditions where I am. I also drive the right way: no quick acceleration, no sudden brakes.
Thanks.

Good synthetic oil is good for 5,000 miles. Make sure you also change the filter.
YES 4 MONTHS OR 5000 MILES IS CORRECT WALMART DOES MINE TO GOOD CHOICE
its suppose to be longer than a regular oil change but i change mine every 3000 miles anyway
I have always changed my oil at six month intervals.
Always go by your owner’s manual so that you don’t void your warranty. For older vehicles (such as yours) the general rule is every 3 months or 3,000 miles. For newer vehicles (such as mine or other cars manufactured after 2005) the rule is every 6 months or 5,000 miles.
