I try to remember to check it at least once a month, I change it once a year or every 35,000 miles, change the filter every 4 months or 5000, but I use Amsoil series 2000 0W30, I wouldn't try that with any other oil,,,
last car had Amsoil its entire life and got 161,000 miles b4 I lost all the water and cracked the head, couldn't measure any wear in the motor, even the end-gap on the rings was only .003 out of spec, (the NEW aftermarket ones were .004 out, had to buy orig. MAZDA rings, they were perfect .011 for spec of .008-.014, so NO wear in the cylinders or anywhere else. So as long as I run a good synthetic, I see no reason to needlessly change my oil too often.
