 I would not worry about changing at that mileage. I have changed cars over
with more miles than that. I only use Mobil 1 , should be able to get it
anywhere. Scott

 Changing is fine. It was 15+ years ago when early PAO formulations
causes problems (leaks in some engines).

Amsoil and Mobil 1 are fine synthetic oils.

For more info on lubrication try:

I changed at 30k miles on a Prelude and was told that was about right to
ensure the engine was broken in completely. The catch ( I understand) is
that you can never go back to non-synthetic oil. I don't know why... but
that's what my Honda dealer says.
