The first thing I did when I got my car was change the oil, it has 80k miles so I used a syntec blend just to make sure it wont burn or leak synthetic oil. Now that I have gone 2k miles on syntec blend I know it is ok to use full synthetic. I usaully change my oil around 3k regardless of wheter it is organic or synthetic.

I change it every 6 months. I don't put many miles on it, so I never need to change it based on mileage.

I change mine annually. It's rated for 1yr/25k miles with a written warranty to back it up.

I change mine about every 4k miles. That's about 3 oil changes a year for me. It can go longer, but since I'm changing out the filter, I go ahead and change the oil also. But I get a discount so I get it cheap.

I almost always change the filter when I change my own oil.

Change EVERY 2500 to 3000 miles. Synthetic or not. Doesnt matter. extended protection, long life, its all BS, dont be an idiot!Don't let ANYONE tell you differently. Friends don't let friends drive with old oil.

+1.... at school in norfolk everythings close, or I ride with other people... so I don't really go by mileage becuase I don't drive it that much... so it's either every few monthes or 3000 miles depending on what comes first.

I'm supercharged and live by the method of better safe than sorry. The cleaner my oil the better for my engine...when I was NA and using Synthetic I changed it every 3k. Now that I'm supercharged and back to organic I will be changing it every 2k.
hey man so how come u switched back to organic oil after u got the blower? i was just wondering...
