How many kilometers should the fully synthetic oil for Accord be replaced?

Accord's fully synthetic oil should be replaced every 8,000 to 10,000 kilometers. Engine oil is known as the lifeblood of an engine. Without oil, the engine cannot function properly. Regular oil changes are necessary because the lubricating properties of oil deteriorate over time. Failure to change the oil can accelerate engine wear. During each oil change, the oil filter should also be replaced. The oil filter is used to purify the oil; without it, the oil would become dirty after some use, negatively affecting engine lubrication. When selecting engine oil, it's crucial to choose the right viscosity for your car's engine. The oil viscosity should not be too low or too high. If the viscosity is too low, it can increase engine wear; if it's too high, it can create excessive resistance during engine operation, impacting power output and fuel efficiency. The Accord embodies Honda's innovative spirit and cutting-edge global technology. It comes standard with Michelin Pilot Super Sport ultra-high-performance tires and features i-VTEC with an intelligent power management system that automatically selects between 3-cylinder and 6-cylinder operation based on road conditions.
I think for the Accord using full synthetic oil, the oil change interval really depends on the specific situation. I've been driving for over ten years, and generally recommend changing it around 10,000 kilometers, but this isn't set in stone. If you frequently deal with city traffic congestion or drive long-distance highways, where driving conditions are harsher, the oil will degrade faster—you might need to check it at 7,000 to 8,000 kilometers. It's best to regularly check the dipstick; if the oil color darkens or has impurities, change it early. Last time I did it myself, I also checked the air filter and tires since these affect engine efficiency. Remember, don’t skimp on oil—timely maintenance extends your car’s lifespan and saves you money in the long run.
