2000km is a VERY short oil change interval. What do Honda (or Honda Hero) recommend?– upsidedowncreatureCommented Oct 28, 2020 at 0:18

6000 km sounds about right for 10w30 oil. If your mechanic is suggesting every 2000 km then it's possible they're masking a larger symptom and you should be asking yourself "Why is my oil getting dirty so fast?". Just don't ask that question to your current mechanic because it sounds like they are content with ripping you off.– MonkeyZeusCommented Oct 28, 2020 at 19:47

You have the recommended interval from your mechanic and the recommended interval from the oil manufacturer. But you are missing the number that you should start with - the one from vehicle manufacturer. If your vehicle came with a user manual, it's generally in the preventive maintenance section in that manual; if you don't have the manual, look online for your make & model.
Oil change intervals frequently specify both distance and time (e.g., "every 3000 miles or 3 months, whichever comes first"). 2000 kilometers is on the low side, but if you don't drive long distances, it may be an appropriate interval.
