Engine Oil Change for City IDSI / CNG in IDSI

I am owner of a City IDSI 2005 (20,000Km). I have two questions:

1. Honda recommends Oil Change after every five thousand KM where as all the other local workshop/pumps recommend changing of oil for about 3000Km. Should i go for Honda Oil (Caltex it is, I guess) after 5000 km with new filter? Or changing oil after 3000 Km is better for engine.
2. Has anybody here installed a CNG kit in CITY IDSI? How does it perform? Is it recommended (of course I understand that with a little low performance)?

Thanks!

do what the manufacture say..
in hard driving, most manufactures recomend changing oil after 5000 km (hard driving is driving in cities)...
in soft driving , it is 10000 km. (soft driving is long routes)..
but keep in mind that use good quality oil.... caz the molecules of oil break down in an engine... and a good quality can only protect yr engine and serve these long terms...
synthetic is the best ... but its expensive...
and i dont know how long it can serve the engine...levin knows it... caz he uses synthetic
so levin... hwat do you say...
