2013 honda odyssey early change of FF

[crosstalk]

My new odyssey has 2,507 miles. Went to the dealer today to check something and they changed the oil by accident! I told them they should not have removed the FF so early (60% life left on the MM), but I have no recourse. They claim to use genuine honda oil in bulk, but could not prove it me not that it matters anyway because it won't have the break-in fluid. Any thoughts on what I should do? Don't worry about it and drive the car?

Yes, just drive it and don't worry. Lots of Hondas survive an early FF change. Plus check your manual: I recall somewhere here it was noted the admonition to keep the FF in for a long time was removed from the 2013 manual.

As long as they didn't charge me for the oil change, I wouldn't worry about. I'd actually feel really good about, but then I'm a proponent for early changes. In either case, I don't think the Honda will fret about it.

No work should ever be performed on your vehicle without your permission. IF the LOF was mistakenly performed in advance of your knowledge, then I would have them give you an IOU for a free LOF in the future.

I'd be happy with the free oil.

go put a bottle of lubromoly in it- basically FF is high in moly from what I have read.

Is there any Moly in Lubromoly?

I know that Tufoil is loaded with Moly.

Honestly don't worry about it, nothing bad will happen. Agree that oil change should be free though.

Thanks, all. Yes the change was free.

The factory fill oil is probably the same oil they put back in.

I agree, but would not be surprised if Honda added a little inexpensive MoS2 to the oil in the engine assembly / test plant. Factory fill might also be a 0W-16 fluid and we just know that - yet.
