    Sorry to be a dick but this is kind of a terrible poll. The 3 most common intervals are 3k, 5k, and 10k. One is not represented. One is represented by 2 different options and 2 of them are represented by the same option.

    I have to change annually as I don’t do the mileage, If I did a 6k change on my Skyline it would be every 10 years… LOL. I use my T3 a lot more but still can’t get anywhere near the distance, So once a year at some point (Usually just after an MOT) I just service them.

      Not if you drive a pure EV Kona, Niro or Ioniq! People found out poor reduction gearbox design means it fouls up it’s gear oil rapidly (compared to say, a Bolt which does not do that) and periodic changes are necessary - or at least one done early in it’s break-in period. (Not to be confused with the hybrid versions of those three or the Ioniq 5 and 6)

    Yearly on my mustang. Never put more than 5k miles a year on it. Gti gets it every 10k, or yearly. Might drop the interval now that it’s mostly city driving.

    I work at a shop so an oil change costs me like 6$. The answer is way too often.

    Every 3,000-3,750 miles. HyunKia GDI 4-cylinders are dirty little engines and the “severe” schedule of 3,000 (2.0T), 3,750 (2.4L/3.3L) applies in “rare” driving conditions such traffic in hot weather, very cold weather, hills, <5 mile trips, stop/go traffic, etc.

    Your intervals are sadly too wide by the way.

    My truck is mote modern, and I change the oil at 5,000-6,000 miles. I have a sort of project/fun vehicle with a much more primitive SOHC 4-cylinder that runs a it 3,500 rpm on the highway, and I change its oil every 3,000 miles.

    Minimum every 6 months during the half yearly service. Otherwise, according to the specified mileage on the bottle.
