I have about 258000 miles on my daily driver 2008 Ram 1500 and it gets fresh oil and filter every 5000 miles.
The on board computer prompts me to change the oil but it seems to want to go about 8-10 thousand miles between changes and I don't think that is good for my vehicle. |

I change my oil on my Ford Explorer Sport Ecoboost twin turbo at the local reliable oil change place. I follow the computer that calculates when its due. They
use a semi synthetic oil. My guess is 10k miles or so when the signal comes on. 72k miles and has never burned a drop and I check. The oil chance guy today said Chevy trucks burn copious amounts of oil between changes. My wife's BMW TT 4 cyl has 15k mile oil change intervals. |

Every three thousand miles religiously, with Castrol 5W-30 and a Toyota oem filter. We do that mileage in two months, that poor 4runner is always on the go.

My vehicle has a "maintenance minder". I DO NOT KNOW HOW IT WORKS. The honda manual says
Based on engine and transmission operating conditions, and accumulated engine revolutions, your Honda's onboard computer (ECM/PCM) calculates the remaining engine oil and the transmission fluid life. The system also displays the remaining engine oil life along with the code(s) for other scheduled maintenance items needing service. but I can't find anything online that discusses actual parameters like oil nephology, clarity, or conductivity, weighted inputs, RMS and Peak values etc. It's magic. So i do what it says. |

Every 10,000 miles - as per the manual.
But, based on the experience of owning a few vehicles over the past 30 years of driving, it's probably excessively frequent. Cars disintegrate around the engine. Rust, air conditioning / heating, ignition, electrical, cooling systems go long before the engine ever seizes up. No harm in frequent oil changes but probably unnecessary given the over-all life of the car. Although, being able to actually get the beater on to the lot under its own power for a trade-in is better than towing it. |

Vehicle's brain tells me when. Usually @ 7K or 8K. It is programmed with conventional oil in use.
But I use synthetic and a good Wix filter every change. No worries for me. Engines of today are far better built than they were a few decades ago and the oil technology has also advanced greatly. You could easily go to a quick change place every 5k and never have a problem with a modern engine. |
