TypeRTuner2000 has read his owner's manual. mythias has not. What mythias claims the owner's manual says is not true. The '97 manual says 7500 miles / 6 months for normal conditions, and "more frequently" (no interval specified) for severe conditions. The '98 manual says 7500 miles / 6 months for normal conditions, 3750 miles / 6 months for severe conditions. The '01 manual says 7500 miles / 1 year for normal conditions, 7500 miles / 6 months for severe conditions.

You can change your oil more often than the owner's manual recommends, if you like. But there is no arguing what it says in the owner's manual. It's right there in black and white, and you can look it up yourself - which you might want to consider doing before posting about it.
