This is Why I Don't Change My Oil

It's a 2015 and we only drive it around town and the things we need most are only two miles away. The low duty cycle, high ambient temp (Vegas) and the horribly dusty air are why I change it at 5K. The new engines do get to operating temp much faster so even with the short drives it's at temp before we get there (stop lights that are always red add to the time). I look at the oil before and it's always clean as new. Honda says 7500 miles and their built-in "oil life" usually says 65-70% and that "system" supposedly accounts for the type of usage.
