6000 to 8000 is double? Aussie math? lol

8,000 miles to 4,000 miles is double, or 12, 000 km to 6,000 km. 
When I bought my 2013 in 2014, the Honda dealer told me, interval of 12,000 km is good enough to keep the warranty alive. Honda already retreated from the 6,000 km oil change interval.

I never get bored reading those figures. Honda did a great job.

Oh, dear. Is now the time to confess I'm basically innumerate? Probably too late.
What I meant was that the 2010-2016 model service intervals were 4,000 miles or 6,000 kms. On the 2017 model they doubled to 8,000 miles and 12,000 kms. That means a new oil filter only every 16,000 miles or 24,000 kms, unless of course Honda has varied the need to change the oil filter.
The question for those of us with older models, I guess, is whether to assume the new service intervals can be applied retrospectively.

Well that makes more sense. Figured the heat was getting to you lol.
I trust Honda and all, but I'm not going 16,000 miles on an oil filter that only costs $12.

No oil change without oil filter change.

No oil change without oil filter change. +1
No oil change without oil filter change.

Changing oil without changing oil filter is like taking a bath and using the same underwear

I would definitely change the oil filter after 12800 kms (8000 miles), especially if you are doing alotta city riding or gear shifting.
