How often should I change oil when using 10W-30 Mobil1?

I have a 1996 VW Jetta GL, I just started using Mobil1 full synthetic. I am a city driver almost exclusively and put up about 750 miles a month. I was thinking maybe changing the filter every 3000 and the oil every 5? The manual says 7500 but I really want to keep this car in good shape. Thanks!How often should I change oil when using 10W-30 Mobil1?I think the answers you have gotten below have not addressed the fact that you are using a fully synthetic oil. Mobil 1 can last much longer than every 3000 miles or even every 5000 miles. I would go for at least every 6000 miles with a new filter everytime. If you don't like my suggestion, do your homework on oil at http://theoildrop.server101.com/forums/uHow often should I change oil when using 10W-30 Mobil1?Even the best oil gets dirty. you should change the oil AND filter every 3 months or 3000 miles. withchever comes first.How often should I change oil when using 10W-30 Mobil1?It depends how and where you drive: change it when it looks and feels dirty.

When I had a car I used a product call Roil every third oil change. It eliminates friction to an amazing degree. I'm in Australia but I suppose you can get it elsewhere.How often should I change oil when using 10W-30 Mobil1?I agree with ViperMax: 3 months or 3,000 miles whichever comes first.

Also it depends on how and where you drive. Toyota recommend changing engine oil and filter every 5,000 miles. But I think that is for IDEAL driving condition. I found that the engine oil in most cars was already rather dirty between 3,000 - 4,000 miles when they came for service.How often should I change oil when using 10W-30 Mobil1?at the cost of my oil every 3000 miles or every 6 months depending on mileage.
