Okay, maybe I'll think about going to a 7,500 interval, maybe even a 10,000 mile interval. However, since I change my own oil it isn't quite as expensive as taking the car in for service. Same goes for other maintenance. When I first met my wife, her car was due for its 30,000 mile checkup and I asked her if she wanted me to do it. Since we had only been dating for a month, she said no thank you, until she found out it was $450 for the 30,000 maintenance/checkup at the dealer. She asked me how much it would cost for me to do it, and when I told her it would cost about $60 she asked me to do it.
