    My 2003 Elantra is almost at 3,000 miles. The manual says that I don't need
    an oil change until 7,500 miles. What has been the experience of the
    newsgroup on this? Opinions are welcome.

    I'd have to check, but I thought the first oil change was at 3,750.

    I change at 3 month intervals but then I have free oil changes for 10 years
    that I got with
    the extended warrantee, My wife does a lot of short trips

  4. Your vehicle, assuming you drive it, likely does not qualify for the
    service schedule you're looking at. The heavier duty service schedule
    calls for oil changes every 3,000 miles.

    I changed the oil on my 2000 Sonata at 1000 kms. it is better to change the
    oil as soon as possible. After the first oil change is better for the car to
    change it every 3000 miles, this way the engine last longer.
