How often do you guys change your oil and what kind do you use?

every 3000km,do it myself in my garage, motomaster filter, and on days where i feel rich i use k&n, but i rather put better oil, regular vs synthectic.

i heard from a mechanic that all regular oils are pretty much the same, only difference is when you start using synthectic.

really depends how hard you drive the car, i drive aggressive, so i feel safe with 3k.

What car do you have? Also what synthetic oil do you use?

Using OEM filter and Royal Purple synthetic. As recommended by the engine builder IPP. High horsepower, can’t use traditional oils.
