You should be able to squeeze 5,000 miles out of every oil change. And being that the car is relatively new, 5,000 miles is pretty much guaranteed. Also, someone who drives a lot in the city will have dirtier oil than someone who mostly drives highway at a certain mileage i.e. 3K.
I deleted my negative statement about Royal Purple since I can not find the article and I don't want to spread just hear say. I am sure it's a good oil but they yet have listed their HTHS rating and for
the price there are better oils out there. But that is just my honest opinion.
