Some people just can't get past the old addage of every 3-5k miles. When we were all running dino oil, that would hold true but with todays synthetics, you can stretch that considerably longer. Some will change it more often but I read where Mobil 1 is suppose to be good for over 15k miles. That is for everyday DD driving. If you race often, you should change it more often. 8-10k miles should be fine for most situations. Another key is to get a good filter.
