[QUOTE="Dre L, post: 561256, member: 57218"] I do it every 3K. Look at your oil at 3K, if it's black or smells burnt, change it every 3K. if not, go for 3 month intervals, or the manual's 5K. If you're under warranty, change it according to the requirement, or risk voiding your warranty. I always understood it as 7500 is okay, but zealots do it at 3K. I firmly believe that lubricants should be changed / re-applied religiously for optimal performance and life on mechanical parts. For 30 minutes and $25, I'll stick to my 3K mile oil and filter changes. [/QUOTE]
