Your answer to a reader with a whining manual transmission on his 6 month old Honda Jazz stated, “Honda is now very wisely asking you to bring the car back to have the transmission oil drained (together with the running-in swarf) after 6,000 miles before the particles have been ground up small enough to get into the bearings. Makes sense to me and should prevent trouble later on.” I have asked my Honda garage at Maidenhead Berks about this and they have never heard of this instruction by Honda. I have a 'new model' Jazz purchased in December 2008 and naturally I am concerned that this oil change has never been carried out on my car.
