Oil- how often do you change it?

My Ford vehicles send message to my phone when due for oil change.
I take to dealer and they change oil and oil filter, rotate tires, check brakes and other stuff that needs checking. Cost is ~$58 per car unless air filter or something extra is needed. I’m told they use synthetic blend.
Seems very reasonable to me. I used to change my own when I was among the working poor, but now that Social Security has kicked in, I like to spread the wealth.

I’ve had all 3 series and probably will get another. I’m satisfied with the all around size and performance of the 3 series. I’d like to get the 4 liter engine in a 3 series car some day, but the regular 3 liter turbocharged engine is plenty of power for me.
The 3 liter bmw motor is brilliant. My neighbor rocks a blacked out new 4 series with that motor, it’s awesome
Check my college grad present. Jane and I rocked this for years til it rusted away
Yeah, that’s an old one, what year?The 3 liter bmw motor is brilliant. My neighbor rocks a blacked out new 4 series with that motor, it’s awesome

Must be nice. When I graduated I was still riding in the same vehicles that I used in High School.Check my college grad present. Jane and I rocked this for years til it rusted away
Just a thought the oil is good for 5000 miles. It's the oil filter that shouldn't go longer than that.
Okay, I’ve always been afraid to ask this, but you seem approachable. How much did the a$$hole driving lessons cost when you switched? And are they good for life, or do you need periodic refreshers? TIA!
I change the oil and filter in all 3 vehicles every 3, 000 miles. I use pure synthetic 20,000 mile oil at the proper grade for the vehicle and also 20,000 mile filters. Never have had an engine issue in any vehicle over the past 40 years though the Pontiac Bonneville with 234,000 miles is beginning to have transmission issues.
let me ask, why would you change 20000 mile oil every 3,000 miles? seems wasteful. Just asking
What? I take my used oil to a recycling center. Nit-pick much? Did you know those giant windmills hold 700 gallons of oil each which needs changed every 9 months? You'd be better serving the environment complaining about that and advocating for their removal.
It makes no sense from every perspective; time, money, environment, engine wear. None at all. You should really keep this to yourself.
I didn't bring it up, you did. But you do your thing and I'll do mine. It doesn't make sense to you but it makes perfect sense to me. Not sure why this bothers you, unless you're a woke lib then it makes all the sense in the world.
Reminds of the know it all at the marina who said I used the wrong oil in my boat ,he’d never use that. To which I got my book out and showed I used exactly what they specified. Then I said to him some ME somewhere got paid good money to figure that out!!
Same w you imo. Some engineer along w extensive testing decided it go 20000 miles. Why not believe them?? Are the oil changes the reason you get 200,000 miles or are the engines just built well
you do what u want
You're befuddled by my opinion as I am by yours. We're all different pal, get used to it.

OR ... why don't I do it my way and INSURE (as much as possible) no engine trouble.
Wow, what an A-Hole.
BTW, you should probably not join in conversations.
Well, whadda ya know, another eloquent and thoughtful poster with a negative IQ. Are you the wokeity woke poster approver? Or just angry because you're not, and never will be?Wow, what an A-Hole.
Sure, you just responded to one.
Here's my initial one: I change the oil and filter in all 3 vehicles every 3, 000 miles. I use pure synthetic 20,000 mile oil at the proper grade for the vehicle and also 20,000 mile filters. Never have had an engine issue in any vehicle over the past 40 years though the Pontiac Bonneville with 234,000 miles is beginning to have transmission issues.
Another: People who insist that a tried and true oil changing procedure that has served an individual perfectly for over 40 years is wrong simply because "they" don't do it that way appear as argumentative, self-serving trolls when they post their "my way or the highway" response.
My oh my, who would have thunk that innocently posting your oil changing method would raise such vitriol from such a collection of "know-it-alls" who actually are "know-nothings"? Certainly not me, it was shocking when it happened.
Oh well, there's nothing but unlimted blank space below, troll on, there's nothing stopping you except maybe your good sense ... wait, that's a bridge too far, right?
wokity Woke newsflash: suggest you check your PalmPilot about how much has changed with regard to engine & engine oil technology since the days you were dreaming of owning a Pontiac *
Cha-ching and there's another one! Newsflash: Sorry, no is the response to your suggestion, I'm not changing how I do it. Why does that bother folks so much, please explain if you can. Another newsflash: You assume too much about me, I never dreamed of owning a Pontiac, it was the best deal at the time we were car shopping. Thanks for your comments though, they are appreciated.
You, of all people, would have no clue of any needs I may have, just based off the irrationality of your responses thus far.
