How Often Should you change your Oil?
« Thread Started on Jun 28, 2008, 6:02pm »		[Quote]
Although I know a lot of newer cars these days don't REQUIRE oil changes every 3000 miles, I still perform them as such.

How often do you guys do it, and what type of oil?

Discuss.

Every 3000 miles here and I was using K&N oil filter (expensive) and Mobile 1 5w30 fully synthetic.

Now, I'm using Frams oil filter....yeah, I've heard of their bad reviews but it's cheap and it works.
From Mobile 1 to Castrol 5w30 fully synthetic....5 quarts of it.

I usually go every 3000 but i just bought a new car and go every 4000. They always look at me wierd when i roll into the honda dealership. I'm like dc5inspired, OEM filter and Hoda oil.. I think once i get to 10,000 i go to full synthetic.
