Default Re: Oil Change Question or Advice

Pull the dipstick and look at (and with experience, smell) the oil to help gauge its condition. If black, it's past time. If fresh-looking, I'd stay-put. But if in-between I'd be tempted to change only the filter (by myself; with the correct version -- not the cheapo paper filter), and top-off the oil after starting the car.
