Oil change every 4k mils, or once a year? I couldn't find a clear answer from owner's manual. Thanks for any comments. |

The car's computer counts down - look at the message line in the instrument panel - and tells you when. Once yearly or about 15K miles. Many people halve the 15K. FloydR |

Also, don't forget to change the oil filter too! |

The specified oil is expensive synthetic designed to have a long life. Changing it earlier than when indicated is simply throwing away money and will have no effect on the engine's life. -- *Not all men are annoying. Some are dead.
