Drove her out the dealership a month ago with 4km, now she’s got 4000km. Is that a lot? Time for an oil change?
Respect.

About 2.485 Miles, I changed my oil around that time or earlier the motor should be broken in already.

The enginerds at Honda accounted for the break in period, go by the maintenance minder. And don't take my word for it, check out engineering explained's video about it on YouTube

Honda North America's maintenance minder is tainted by "cost of ownership" statistics published by consumer magazines/websites. Honda and other makes compete for lowest ownership costs, including scheduled maintenance. The maintenance minder recommendations are fine if you trade-in every 100k miles or so and Honda will be happy to sell you another car.

Honda's UK owners manual shows mileage/time maintenance recommendations, more in line with USA guidelines 25 years ago.

Honda's passing the 300k mile mark are 20-25 years old, using the old maintenance recommendations. You won't make 300k miles with 10,000 mile oil changes in my opinion.

For that reason I change my oil every to 5k miles or 6 months whatever is first, usually I go by the time since I drive my car approximately 30 to 40 miles per day 5 days per week, the weekend warrior is our CR-V to go to the grocery store or the beach.
