    That totally depends on your mileage.

    If you are an average driver (USA ~20 000 km per year, European ~10 000 km per year), a yearly oil change is usually sufficient. Frequent changes are environmentally unfriendly, while at the same time costing more money than they save.
    A good fully synthetic oil can do 20 000 km in most modern engines.

      This is also HIGHLY dependant on the quality of filter. Too many garbage filters out there.
