If you drive more than 3000 miles in six months then you're changing oil too often.
I dunno...
I'm driving my Prius, as I've driven my 1998 Saturn SL2: about 3000 miles a month.
For the Saturn, following the maintenance schedule, I've had it in religiously every 3000 miles, except once when we evacuated for hurricane Floyd. After 188,500 miles the car still runs very smoothly, and I've only had 1 major repair (water pump) ... I have no reason not to believe that my son will be able to put another 100,000 miles without any problems.
My Prius is sitting at 4,500 and I again plan on follwing the manual with just as much zeal.
On a side note, I just realized something... 188,500 miles, and I never once washed the car... Saturn did it. I never once added winshield fluid... Saturn did it. I never once vacuumed it out... Saturn did it.
It will be interesting (and hopefully not too disappointing) to see how Toy of M compares...
