How Often

Only put about 3200 miles a year on my 00 coupe. How often do you change the oil and filter? Just checked mine, which I changed last Oct. and it looks brand new. Just can't bring myself to change it.

With that few miles each year, just change it once every 12 months.

This topic has been beat to death.

From previous threads: When the DIC tells you or once a year, which ever comes first.

Once a year is good.... I would highly recommend checking the dipstick every few months just for peace of mind. Make sure the oil looks good (color) and that you're not running low.

I have a Jeep in the garage that I change the oil once a year....with Mobile 1.
