90,700 miles is hardly "high mileage" on an Accord. I would recommend
looking at your driving habits, to see whether 3k/3months is really
necessary. Unless you experience "severe operating conditions" I'll bet you
could go 5k without hurting anything. I go 5k/6 months on my 1999 Civic, it
has 80k miles, the oil stays clear, and there isn't a sign of a leak or so
much as a puff of smoke.

However, when I fire it up, I drive 50 miles to the grocery store. No short
trips for me.

My wife's Accord as 90,700 miles on it. When we get the oil changed what kind should we get? We get it changed every 3k/3months religiously but for the last year or so I have been using the premium oil. Should I save my money and use regular, continue the premium, or use the high milage oil? Thanks!! Eddie G
