How often do you guys do your oil and tranny fluid change?

Just wondering. I have a 99 and use Mobil1 5w 30. And Honda ATF for tranny fluid? Is there an oil you guys prefer for your Motor?

Depends on how Often you drive the Car but in my Case and the Amount of Miles I do every Month I:

Change the Engine Oil every 6 Months with Mobil 1 Synthetic "EP" 5W-30
Why EP? well it Covers 15,000K or 1 Year so if For any Reason I cant change my Oil at 6 Months I have the Piece of Mind that My Engine is Protected Anyways... The Filter I use is K&N HP-1004...

With ATF I use Honda DW-1 on a Yearly Basis and this is Becouse Mileage and The Problem with our Trans. I add a Magnefine External Filter Too.

Mobil 1 EP 5w-20 fully synthetic, and a M1 EP Filter, M-104. Only oil and filter I've used since I picked up my TL-S. I change oil every 7-8k miles.
