How often should you get an oil change?

• Follow the owner’s manual schedule for precise intervals; commonly a 2006 Honda Insight benefits from oil service every 5,000 miles or every six months under normal driving conditions.
• Under severe or city-driving conditions, or if using conventional oil, shorter intervals (e.g., every 3,000–5,000 miles) are recommended.
• Nalley Honda inspects your vehicle and recommends the ideal interval based on actual driving patterns and oil type used.
• Keeping regular service records at our dealership protects warranty coverage and strengthens vehicle resale value.

• Nalley Honda uses OEM-recommended oils and can advise on synthetic vs. conventional options for longevity and fuel economy.
• We recommend full synthetic for improved protection and longer change intervals when appropriate; we always match the grade to Honda’s specifications.
• Any oil change and parts used under warranty are documented; warranty-covered repairs must be completed at a certified dealership to remain valid.
