Change the oil whenever the manual suggests you do it. Everyone has been brainwashed by these oil change places and swear that anything over 3K is too much. It's not, get over it. They want you to get your oil changed as often as possible so that you will fill their pockets with your cash. If you want to waste your money changing your oil all the time, that's fine by me. But it's not necessary.

If you notice, I did reccomend he go by the vehicle reccomendations. I'm pretty old fashioned... I use regular oil. Synthetic is a bunch of B.S. (In my opinion.) And I've NEVER taken my vehicle to an oil changing business. All of mine are done right at home in my drive way... by ME.
