Default How often should I change my oil?
So the Engine Minder came up again...I changed the oil last summer (about this time actually). I've done about 6500 km since the last change using Mobil 1...should I change again?

I've been reading that I should be able to do 7500 miles...which is about 12000km...

Anyone know?

I change mine every 3000 or so. The oil should last longer than the OEM filter...

I like doing mine etleast every 5000 km's... I find Mobil 1 is pretty good....It's not that exspensive and gives you a good peace of mind having fresh oil and filter..
