This time I'm at a little over 4K, I usually try to change every 3K. Ok, maybe its a bit anal, but old habits die hard. Right now I'm waiting for the snow to melt so I can get the car up the hill to the carrige house so I can change the oil.
I posted something a while back about my theory about oil change intervals, engine hours and average speed. If you have an SID 3 check your average speed then multiply it by 200 hours. If you average 50 mph this will come out to 10,000 mi. 35 mph will be 7000 mi.
This fits with the intervals in the manual, 10,000 mi is good if you do a lot of highway driving. 5,000 if you do a lot of stop & go.
