Do a search. Everyone has a different opinions. We just have a thread talking about oil change intervals with synthetic oil. If you are worry about your engine, get your oil analysed to get an idea of how it is wearing. How often you should change the oil also depends on your driving habits. Everyone drives differently, so your own interval may be different from everyone else.
For the record, I use Mobil 1 and I change my oil at 5k to 6k intervals. (Mostly highway commute of about 45 miles one way.) |

usually around 3-5K with Mobil 1 and Purolator... unless I get the urge to just change the oil, then maybe 4K... like probably this evening.
Fumoto valve makes it easy. |

Changed my oil yesterday... 2nd oil change done at 6800 miles... a lil overdue, but not too bad. Lemme tell ya... the first one took forever. And in the 3 hrs it took to do it the first time, most of it was getting the oil pan bolt and oil filter off. Yesterday.... took an hour, could've been less but I decided to do a little yard work while the oil was draining But I just wanted to add that it is SO much easier after the first time
