how often should i change my oil?

[tightflks]

i have an integra gsr now, i just changed the oil with mobil synthetic, i was wondering how often do i need to change it?

some say with synthetic you can do it every 5000-6000 miles, but ive heard others tell me i should still change it every 3000 miles

[Scotsman]

every 3 g's , it also depends on how hard you drive

[antiv6]

i change every 3000 with mobile one synthetic 5w20

[Scotsman]

the more you change it the better off you'll be

when i worked at honda i changed my oil all the time between 2000-3500. but being without working there that can be expensive ide say every 3000

every 3 g's , it also depends on how hard you drive

ditto.

[Scotsman]

its an easy driveway job , and for a 4 banger its cheap

i do every 2000, cause of my driving style..

[NevrNufTorq]

every 2k if you drive hard or every time you run at the track. for moderate driving and 'getting on it' every once in a while 3k is fine with a 4k max.

good points by all the above also

I change mine every 3k.

Full Synthetic lasts a lot longer than conventional though, I'd say if you do a lot of hwy driving change it at 5-6K, if you drive it hard/short trips/race then 3K.

I use the same thing and i change mine out every race... So after every 20 or 30 miles!!!

[Vteckidd]

i never run synthetic.

I run Castrol 10-40 and replace it every 3000 miles

[green91]

3k miles. synthetic lasting longer than fossil oil is a myth, neither oil breaks down anytime near 3k miles, the reason you change is that the oil gets carbon in it from the combustion process, which synthetic wont change a bit. i change mine with castrol or mobil 5w30 every 3k miles.

i change every 4,000 b/c im running redline little expensive to change every 3,000

[road1will]

I change mine every 2500, or anytime after I go to the track.

2500 is also really easy to remember. do it at 2500mi,5000mi,7500,10000, and so on.
