I change mine every 2,000 but that is not the norm.

Unless you're racing, 2000 miles is just a waste of money.


Chaseball: RTFM. Lexus recommends every 4 months / 5000 miles unless you do almsot exclusively highway driving, then I think the recommendataion is 6 months/7500 miles.

Every 4 months or 5000 miles is plenty with modern metalurgy and oil technology, unless you drive exceedingly hard or in very extreme conditions (like off road in the desert).
