I change mine religiously every 3000 miles but that's just me. I run mobil 1 in my evo ix and as far as a full service, it depends on the mileage of the car. It can't hurt to change everything though.

I change the oil every 5000 miles, royal purple and mobil 1 filter. Then i change all the drivetrain fluids every 15k with all oem fluids except the tranny. it gets ams fluid. lol

I would reccomend changing your oil every 3500 miles or so

I go 3000-5000. I'm not OCD about it. I just use Mobil 1 10w-30 like the cap says.

I do the drivetrain every 15k. OEM fluids in the diffs and then whatever I feel is the cool new thing in the trans. Right now I have Redline in the trans.

When Black Stone Labs says its time=)

Most folks change their pan oil way too soon. Check out the best oil forum here:
