I am looking at a used 2014 Honda Accord V6. The last oil change appears to be after 11,000 miles duration, which was done in a 10 month period, changed at 14500 miles and it now has 25500 miles. There is a Honda dealer sticker on the windshield that indicates next change at about 26300 or so. (not from this dealer, but from the one that did the change at 14500.
The owner appear to be following the Maintenance Manager (on board oil life monitor). Here is what I can determine, and I do not have access to the MM, and no other written records available.
1) 6500 miles first change
2) 14500 miles second change
3) 25500 miles third change, done by dealer as part of trade-in- customer bought a Audi A6.
I have no idea if this is a reasonable interval, but it does appear to be mostly highway miles, and the tires are original and have 40-50% life remaining. Car drives well, engine purrs, other than 2 slight hail dents and a few rock chips the car shows well, no body damage, no body repairs, and the only warranty claim was for new front brake rotors at first oil change. The price is pretty good, and it still has 10k miles on factory warranty.
I know a lot of recent BMW, Mini's etc have gone to extreme change intervals, like 12.5k or 15k miles, but not sure about this Honda, and I cannot find a normal-severe maintenance schedule. Opinions on 11k miles on last oil change ?
