Oil change Every 7500, 6000, 3000. . .sold at 3k

[island911]

Bentley says every 7,500 miles.
Haynes says every 6,000 miles. (is that 1972 dino-oil)
And most of what I hear here, is to change oil every 3000 miles.

So who's right? With a 3 gallon oil system it seems conservative to change every 6k; making 3k hyper-conservative. . . .unless you racing in a desert.

Any other thoughts on this?

It think it is all down to opinion!.
The more regular the better- obviously.
But I believe that the synthetic oils last longer!.

7500 is fine. Don't believe the Jiffy Lube hype. Motor Oils have gotten so much better in the past 20 years that the 3K mark is no longer needed...

6000-7500 miles, sure oil's good for it, but oil changes are cheap (especially for DIY's)...why not baby it for a couple extra bucks. It certainly won't hurt.
