Were they paying for maintance? Honda doesn't make there own "special" oil, it sounds like they just didn't want to pay for it.

Honda isn't paying for the maint - the customer does which makes it even harder to comprehend. Normally when you pull into a dealership, they try to sell you all sorts of things that you don't need. This made the 10K thing even harder to understand?
I've always changed oil & filter after the first 2000 miles. So far this hasn't hurt, but the last new vehicle I did this to was a 1995 model.
Indeed....an interesting debate.
