Do you guys go by the book and change it every 7500K or 3000K or just some random mileage?

I try and do it every 3-4 months because it is RARE that I will put 3k on a vehicle in 3 months... in the truck, I changed the oil every 4 months and I might have 1500-2000 on it... my first change in the Accord I went 4 months and 3300 miles, just because I slacked. Otherwise, every 3 months.

I do it every 3000 miles and I use synthetic oil. I may go over 100-200 miles depending on my schedule but its usually right around 3000.

every 3k here...but depending on schedule, sometimes i go over upto 4k, but never above that.....

its because saturday is the only day i can actually change oil, but if i miss one saturday, i will have to wait another week to do it....and that adds about another 1000 miles on it....yeah....i change my oil almost every month....
