Twice a year at 6 months or just under 5,000 miles . Have to because of the Platinum warranty . Use Shell synthetic 5w-20 for the cold months and their 5w-30 during the warmer weather . Now using AC Delco PF 1233 oil filter for less than $4 each . Shell synthetic is under $3.40 a quart . May get a used oil analysis at upcoming oil change . Depends if the weather cooperates . Outdoor O.C. on the drive .

You'd be better off running 0/30 for cold and 5/30 for hot.

The 30 wt end of the oil is measured at 212*F, that does not change once your engine is warmed up, wether it be winter or summer.
