How often do you guys get your oil changed?

It's a little short but I wouldn't say a total waste. Again, you have the contaminate load to deal with. Modern oils start out low on ZDDP and it only gets lower with time. 20wts are less tolerant to fuel dilution. I personally do mine at 5,000 but I'm also running Redline and I do mostly freeway miles.

When I bought the car the salesman told me to not let it go below 30% oil life. I just had mine changed when it hit the 30% mark at a different dealership and the new sticker they put on says to do it again when it hits 15%.
Do you guys go by mileage or trust the oil life percentage on the car? And no matter which way you use how often do you get it done?

The reminder thing is new to me. I've always changed my oil on mileage. For Dino I go 3500-4000 miles. I now run synth and I let it go to 5000-6000 miles. I've only changed my oil 3 times in this car. It works out to be about every 4-5 months.
