Default When to do First Oil Change on Honda CR Z Japan Model

Hi, all members of CR Z..
I'm from Indonesia. I'm 2012 CR Z user Japan version. I find difficulty here about my First Oil Change. I need your advise if you don't mind, and it will be very useful for me as a newbie CR Z user.

I've checked from this forum that "First OIL CHANGE" of CR Z (Canada) was indicated by the notification from the INFORMATION DISPLAY which displays ENGINE OIL LIFE. Then I checked my CR Z Information Display (all words written in Japanese letters), I didn't find the ENGINE OIL LIFE display there. I also checked my owner's manual (which is written in Japanese too), i didn't find it ( the information display flow diagram didn't have Engine Oil Life menu). So I came up with the conclusion that the 2012 CR Z Japan doesn't have ENGINE OIL LIFE display. So, is there any other indication instead of Information Display? or do i have to just follow regular schedule from the dealer which recommends First Oil Change at 5000km ?

Thank You so much.. Any information will be appreciated..

Or old fashion way of every 3k miles or whatever you did before. I go off the display period. Others still can't get with the times and do it the old recommended way. Up to you. GL
Any pics? Mods planned? Welcome to the forum

I've been averaging about 10,000mi/16,000km per oil change. I just hit 33,000 mi.. Which part of Indonesia are you in? Welcome to the forum and selamat on your Z

For us in Malaysia, the first oil change is at 6000KM. And subsequently every 5000KM. Not quite sure if the internals will sludge up at 10,000KM intervals but I like to push the car every now and then so I'm good with 5000KMs
