If you drive normally and use conventional oil then my recommendation is to change the oil/filter every 5,000 miles. If you use synthetic then change it every 8,000 miles. If you drive in very dusty conditions then change it more often. If you drive mostly highway miles then move to 6,000 miles conventional and 10,000 miles synthetic. Or you can follow the manufactures recommendation listed in your owner's manual which is always best.
