bluebirdvision Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 (edited) I have owned my car since July (had the oil changed right after I bought it) and have only put 1,950 miles on it. It has 155,916 miles on it right now, it is due for LOF at 157,336 miles. As you can see I don't put that many miles on it. How often should I get it changed? I obviously can't go by the mileage, because it will be February before I get to 3,000. I'm using conventional oil, not synthetic. thanks bbvision Edited November 25, 2011 by bluebirdvision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is about twice a year on one car, and about two years on the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbex Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 Me personally, I'd change it at least once per year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alec_b Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 At LEAST once a year, I prefer no longer than 6 months between regardless of mileage. Oil changes are $25 bucks... why skimp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebirdvision Posted November 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 ^ That was my thought. Every six months it is! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92GrandPrixSE Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 I was always taught every 3 months or 3,000 miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel87 Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 For me, 5K miles or 4 months, which ever comes first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
