Re: how often do you do an oil change?
With a large 8.5 qt sump, high quality filter & synthetic oil, X-Fires can easily go 9 -10K or a year between changes.
They are also equipped with an oil change indicator, which monitors your particular driving habits and notifies you when a change is due via "wrenches" appearing in the instrument panel gauges. All in the owners manual.
VW, Porsche & BMW are just a few of other OEM's that follow the same oil change interval.

Re: how often do you do an oil change?
I change the oil on my roadster in the fall just before I store it (4 winters now), and put apprx 8-10k miles on it each summer. Never had the change oil light go on. The SRT6 was one summer and 5k of driving, and it's oil got changed before storage too.

Re: how often do you do an oil change?
Oil changes are determined by the FSS in which the default starts at 7000 mile service intervals. If you don't drive with your foot crammed to the floor you'll actually gain additional mileage as you go. If you drive in stop and go traffic or "drive it like you stole it' you can lose mileage. I average around 8K on my changes.
I change when there's a couple of hundred miles to go on the FSS.
Synthetic oil is too expensive to waste.
Make sure you use a quality fleece filter. I use MANN filters. You can search for them and generally buy several of them for a discounted price.
