Just a poll to get some interaction in! Everyone has an opinion on this…what’s yours?
Sorry to be a dick but this is kind of a terrible poll. The 3 most common intervals are 3k, 5k, and 10k. One is not represented. One is represented by 2 different options and 2 of them are represented by the same option.
That’s kind of a personal question.
You’re kind of a personal question
😳
I have to change annually as I don’t do the mileage, If I did a 6k change on my Skyline it would be every 10 years… LOL. I use my T3 a lot more but still can’t get anywhere near the distance, So once a year at some point (Usually just after an MOT) I just service them.
Yearly, regardless of mileage.
I drive an EV now. Where’s the ‘never’ option?
Not if you drive a pure EV Kona, Niro or Ioniq! People found out poor reduction gearbox design means it fouls up it’s gear oil rapidly (compared to say, a Bolt which does not do that) and periodic changes are necessary - or at least one done early in it’s break-in period. (Not to be confused with the hybrid versions of those three or the Ioniq 5 and 6)
That is fascinating and really shitty for people with those cars
I work at a shop so an oil change costs me like 6$. The answer is way too often.
Every 3,000-3,750 miles. HyunKia GDI 4-cylinders are dirty little engines and the “severe” schedule of 3,000 (2.0T), 3,750 (2.4L/3.3L) applies in “rare” driving conditions such traffic in hot weather, very cold weather, hills, <5 mile trips, stop/go traffic, etc.
Your intervals are sadly too wide by the way.
Yearly on my mustang. Never put more than 5k miles a year on it. Gti gets it every 10k, or yearly. Might drop the interval now that it’s mostly city driving.

Whenever my oil goes from “Yeah that’s about right” to “eugh yep its time”, typically around the 4-5k mark. Yay direct injection!
Depends on the car. My subaru says every 6,000. I bought it new so I just do it every 5k for easy record keeping.
I have 20k on my trucks built up engine. I religiously change it at or before 3k.
Mobile one synthetic and filter for everything since it parked in my driveway.
At 20%
Once a year with amsoil or the like. Cars average 5k to 10k miles a year.
Minimum every 6 months during the half yearly service. Otherwise, according to the specified mileage on the bottle.
I drive a VW, besides the filter it changes it’s own oil
