  You can get away with changing it once a year as long as you rotate it every few months.

  My car requires a service plus oil change every year or 10k miles, whichever comes first.

    And you should cut that in half. 5k max. Auto Manufactures are only interested in your vehicle making it to the end warranty.

      With fully synthetic oils, tighter tolerances, and cleaner running engines there are many cars that are easily going to make it to a year or 10k miles without serious degradation of the oil.

      Things like tire rotations should still be done more often. And there are ways to check/test oil for degradation if you don’t believe manufacturer recommendations.

      This is opposite from what I’ve heard. Dealerships make a killing on their service department, so they say you need oil change every 8k when in reality 10k is probably fine.

  Nah just run it once with out, then you just top up every other fill up no oil change needed
