How often do you change the oil?

Read the manual they have 2 maintience schedules.
I chose to change mine every 3k Miles.
Anyone else do the 3700 miles or the 7500 mile schedule?

I do 5000...

I'd do 7500 miles but I drive a lot and pretty hard/rough often times so it'd be better for me if I did 5000.

Even better if I did 3750 but I'll be living on the streets if I did that.

3K ftw... it's not so much the oil that would be the issue after that many miles but the filter

I'm doing 3750 with Castrol Syntec. I'd go to 5k but we don't drive the car much and that would be over 6 months between changes.

I'm on the 3750 schedule at the dealer. Usually works out to about every 4K.
