How often do you get an oil change?

Sometimes I wonder if they actually change the oil at all, and simply turn the light off.

I usually do every 5000 miles, per my car manual.

But I wonder if it can actually go longer

I read somewhere that says full synthetic can go up to 15000 miles, though I wouldn't wait that long

Between 6000 and 9000 km, depending on season and driving. More frequently in winter, especially if there's a lot of short trips where the engine doesn't get good and hot, less frequently if it's mostly highway driving in the summer.

@FrozenWasteland synthetic @7k, winter and very hot weather is hard on an engine and the older they get the more care they require. Personally avoid Penzoil it is low quality Valvoline is a good quality oil at a reasonable price
