First oil change dilemma

Do it yourself, I’m sure you can get all you need (oil & filters) shipped to you before that.

On my 2021 my dealer said as long as I didn't go over about 900 miles I would be fine for the warranty but I wasn't keen so I just reduced my riding until they could slot me in. On my 2022 I booked as soon as I picked it up and got a slot for a few weeks later and I just had 615miles when it was taken in.
Not sure about where you are but here, to keep the warranty, it has to be dealer serviced.

Hey people,

I am due for my first oil change on my AT, as i have 1000km on it now. Problem is the earliest date at the local honda service is in 3 weeks.

Basically the question is whether I can and if so, than by how much over the recommended oil change milage (giving to a fact that its the first oil change)?

Thanks!

If your jurisdiction permits it in warranty, definitely just do it yourself.

The hardest thing I find is clean-up and organizing the oil for responsible disposal.

Do it yourself and keep the receipts. Can hurt to take a couple pics as well. If the states you can take the used oil to any oil change facility and they will recycle it.

So different "AT manuals" for different countries ?

It would be interesting to see what does it say in @Lkovac1988 owners manual ?

Trade-offs galore with Honda.

Honda Canada offers unlimited mileage and a mere one year factory warranty on the Africa Twin and you can service yourself [properly, of course] and not void warranty.

Some EU regions: 3, 4 or 5 year warranties? Wuz dat?

But alas, some of those regions must have service formally registered with an authorized garage?

What he said, here in the UK every local authority has a recycling depot that accepts waste engine oil. I'm sure there will be similar in Slovakia.
