Default Re: Oil changes: dealership or generic oil change place? And how often?

Some of the answer has to do with what kind of driving you generally do. Lots of stopping and starting tends to break the oil down more quickly, whereas long highway type drives where you are more or less at a constant speed are a little easier on the engine and the oil. But generally speaking, the 3000 mile guideline is a bit outdated unless you are driving an older car.
