Just a poll to get some interaction in! Everyone has an opinion on this…what’s yours?

Sorry to be a dick but this is kind of a terrible poll. The 3 most common intervals are 3k, 5k, and 10k. One is not represented. One is represented by 2 different options and 2 of them are represented by the same option.
I work at a shop so an oil change costs me like 6$. The answer is way too often.
Yearly on my mustang. Never put more than 5k miles a year on it. Gti gets it every 10k, or yearly. Might drop the interval now that it’s mostly city driving.
At 20%
Once a year with amsoil or the like. Cars average 5k to 10k miles a year.

I drive a VW, besides the filter it changes it’s own oil
I drive an EV now. Where’s the ‘never’ option?
Not if you drive a pure EV Kona, Niro or Ioniq! People found out poor reduction gearbox design means it fouls up it’s gear oil rapidly (compared to say, a Bolt which does not do that) and periodic changes are necessary - or at least one done early in it’s break-in period. (Not to be confused with the hybrid versions of those three or the Ioniq 5 and 6)
Full synthetic, and 8-10 thousand miles.
Every 15000km,
Every 3,000-3,750 miles. HyunKia GDI 2.4L I4’s are dirty little engines and the “severe” schedule of 3,000 (2.0T), 3,750 (2.4L/3.3L) applies in “rare” driving conditions such traffic in hot weather, very cold weather, hills, <5 mile trips, stop/go traffic, etc.
In the car: when the oil change indicator comes on, usually about every 10k. On the bike: when I feel like it.
Pulled the valve covers recently on the car, and it was clean as a whistle.
That’s kind of a personal question.
You’re kind of a personal question
😳
Minimum every 6 months during the half yearly service. Otherwise, according to the specified mileage on the bottle.
Like, in a car?
Well this is the cars community…
Or a lawnmower. Personally, I change my push mower’s oil every 3,000 miles /s
Good to know!
The mowers I’ve had have use that fucked up and horrifying system where you’re supposed to mix the gasoline with motor oil.
