How many miles for oil change?

Answer 1

You should do an oil and filter change every 3,000 miles, and check your oil level at least once a week. -This may sound expensive, but will prolong your engines useful life.

The 3,000 mile oil change is a thing of the past and a total waste of money and oil on any vehicle built in the last 10 years. Most manufactures recommend 5,000, 7.500, or even 10,000 miles driving under normal conditions. Oil chemistry and engineering has evolved so much in recent years that the average interval for 2010 model year cars is around 7,800 miles. The 3,000-mile oil change is a myth that should be laid to rest and is only promoted by those people who make money off oil changes or by people who are living in the past. Follow the recommendation in your owners manual and save yourself some money.
