I have about 8,500 kms on our Odyssey and with 15% oil life left, I noticed the orange "wrench" lit up at the same time the 20% life went to 15% (before this it was dropping in 10% increments).
The owner's manual states that you shouldn't change the oil before the first service indicator. Are you guys following the "wrench" light for your first oil change or waiting until the life indicator gets to 5%?
On the next oil change, I don't think it makes much of a difference as the break in oil will already have been replaced and at that point, all I will be wasting is money if I choose to change the oil more frequently.
On a related note, what mileage did you see the service light at on your van?
