6MT Oil Change?

How often do you guys with a 6mt change your oil? I tried searching and I know what the manual says, I just want to see what you guys do. I have 41k now and have not changed the oil, its starting to get notchier as the miles add on, so I plan on changing soon. Any suggestions as to what oil to use as well? tia

Is changing the oil every 30k too much or should I change it around then?

I'm sorry.. I don't get it.. are we talking about motor oil? I thought it's required to changed around 3750 miles (3k7 miles) according to the manual book??
how can you not change it after 41000 miles (41K)???

At 41k without an oil change his engine would have been scrap metal
