Answer 3

i take advantage of a synthetic oil (Royal pink) and alter each 8000 miles besides the incontrovertible fact that it claims you are able to flow ten thousand miles. It costs extra money yet I do get greater useful gasoline mileage. the keep that variations my oil places a clean oil clear out on at 4000 miles and tops off the oil if it desires it for no value.

Answer 4

I start asking the old man to do it around 3000 miles after the last oil change. He says, "oh, it's good for at least 5000 (since the last change)"

Long story short, every 10,000 miles....sad, but true.

Answer 10

usually once every three months or 3000 miles which ever is first with synthetic oil though it can last longer

Answer 11

3,000 miles and it is the best preventative maintainence to keep other issues from arising. One year answer is ridiculous unless you leave it parked and even then you need to change it from season to season.
