depends on the weather conditions and your driving habits. i'll be changing mine every 5k-7.5k since i have very normal driving conditions, even though i think the maintenance manual states 10k for normal conditions. with my baby, i'd rather be safe than sorry.

also, if you feel your car is noticeably underperforming, the engine is running louder/knocking a little, or you check the dip stick only to find a nice gooey substance, change the oil.

Every 5k miles you rotate your tires???? you must drive alot!

hey, do you guys know if the Acura dealers give free top offs? that is if you need more oil they put more oil in w/o charging?

What would it matter to drive a lot or not if rotating your tires every 5K miles. Is rotating at 5K miles in 2 months different than rotating at 5K mile in 1 yr?
