    How often do you change your oil?

    How often do you change your engine oil? Also, what is your usage (daily, hard street use, track etc.) and average annual miles on vehicle?

              DD, mostly free-flowing freeway miles. 7500 miles or once a year (usually 7500 comes first). Blackstone validated intervals on Castrol TWS.

                Once a year. Usually anywhere from 1k-2k miles. Last year was an exception (5k miles) with me doing a roadtrip to Maine and then a track day at Road Atlanta.

                Those miles are usually higher in the RPM.

                          4-5k miles. I've heard up to 7.5k miles is okay, but I'd rather err on the side of caution.

                            Once a year. I put about 1500 mi on it annually but all those miles are just warm up and then redline runs, rinse, repeat.

                              3000 to 5000 km per year. Twice a year regardless of km.
