i am finding it a pain to change the oil every 3 months- it was suggested that i go synthetic for this reason. (by the way, how often does synthetic need to be changed?)-
i have about 11k miles on the car and it is 2.5 years old... so it most likely very broken in by now!
thoughts?
thanks!
OMG!! Only 11k miles. I remember when we both got our S at the same time and I have 73k miles now.

Back to your topic. Since mine is a daily driver, I've average about 2500 miles per month. I usually change my Royal Purple Synthetic 5W-30 oil every 6 weeks or 3500 miles. I drive fairly aggressively, track it occasionally, and have driven at high speeds for extended periods of time(S2k Days 01). I believe this oil change routine, which I've done from the beginning, has provided me with a trouble free engine so far. I hope that I get another 100k enjoyable miles.

BTW, I switched over to synthetic on my 3rd oil change when I reached 12k miles. That was way back when...
