For those who do not track your car, how often will you change your oil? There's no perfect way to poll this since some people go by calendar rather than mileage, so please do your best to respond with mileage in mind.

I went with the factory recommendation and had the 1st change @ 19,000 mi
Now I have 30k on the car.

Oil usage so far...2qt

Did my first change at 2000 miles, will probably do next oil change in 12 months or at 8000 miles.

I searched this thread topic and found countless answers, but many of them were skewed because of the track factor. I understand people changing oil more often if they track the car regularly or semi-regularly, but what about the rest of us?

I bought my car with 6,400 miles on it. At 10,000 I changed the oil. I plan on changing every 5,000.

I happened to see this Used Oil Analysis on a car using Mobil 1 ow40...I realize it's not a P car but it does give an indication of the durability of the factory fill...this car only holds 4 qts. versus the 911's 9qt. system...had almost 3 qts. of make-up oil but it was a 20,000 mile oil change interval...

You're supposed to change it?

At the rate I'm driving I'll have 15k miles on it 1 year after my purchase so I'll change it then. My dealer said time not just milage should be taken into account, change your oil at least once a year.

Also I'll add I have almost 6k miles and have not added a quart yet and plan to attend 1-2 driving event(s) per year.
