Default Re: When to do first oil change

My last 2 Hondas both had stickers from the dealer saying to change the oil at 5,000 miles. Found this on a Honda dealer website:

On all Hondas (except Passport), the original engine oil contains additives to protect the engine during its break-in period. Since these additives aren’t in over-the-counter oils, make sure the first oil change happens at the recommended mileage/time interval, and not before.
