Our mechanic told us to change our oil every 6 months and we have followed that for decades. (we drive our cars forever, so haven't seen any harm there)). But I just wanted to add that I always heard if a car sits that you should change the oil more. Is that wrong then? There were so many years my husband barely drove that we put his car on a 3-month oil change schedule, as many people recommended. Just curious.
Oh, BTW I had a Saturn that went through oil like a fiend. I think that car probably should have been changed every month (the oil turned thick and dark very quickly). It depends on the car I am sure. The car was dirt cheap and great but dang it was an oil eater.
