When Do you guys do your Oil changes?
When Do you guys do your Oil changes?
Hey All,
I was going to go in for my 3rd oil change soon, and I was unsure if I should do it every 3000mi or go along with what the maintenance book says?
So far I have done it at 1000mi and 3750mi.
So, should I just do it at 7500 like the maintenance book calls for???
Please advise,
Thank you

I hardly drive, since I work 2 miles away, so I do it at every 3000 miles OR every 4 months if I don't hit 3000 miles within that time frame.
I've had the car for7 months now and have only 3200 miles on it.

I read in Consumer Reports a while back that... with the great quality of motor oils and their vast improvements in refining the oil "today" one could actually go 5000 miles without harming the engine. The oils starting to "gel" at 7K miles.
But I still do it every 3500 miles.

My commute is about 3 miles LOL.. Sucks and is good at the same time. I don't even have time to listen to a whole song on the radio on the way in in the morning.
