I do it by odometer reading, not by months. No problems on my end. In my experience, the PMS schedules are very, very conservative.
I run 10,000 km in roughly 10 months, so my service stops occur every so often instead of every 6 months.
Both my rides were Hondas. Since you're paying a premium for their engineering, this can be considered an impromptu test of their claim. So far they've put their money where their mouth is.
