I change my vehicle's oil and filtre every 5000 km. If it makes you feel
more comfortable doing so, then by all means do it. It doesn't matter to me
what other people say about the frequency of oil changes, because when you
get right down to it, it's your vehicle and they're not going to be found if
something happens to your vehicle following their advice.
