THAT is the question nobody seems to agree on. Different makes have diffent change intervals. One recommends 3 months or 3000 miles, while the other recommends twice a year or 8000 miles. Most garages seem to say 3 to 4 months or 3000 miles, though consumers reports did a test a few years ago on taxis in New York City and came out with a recommendation of 6 months or 6000 miles. The choice is yours, but I would err one the side of caution. Every 4 months sounds like a good compromise.
