Hmmm, on the file 1Intro.pdf under the Scheduled Maintenance section it recommends Oil/Oil Filter changes every 7.5k miles for normal conditions and Oil/Oil Filter changes every 5k miles for unique conditions.

Thoughts?

Million threads about that, I personally change it at 3-3.5k miles.

That's what the owner's manual says, too. No car enthusiast ever believes that's often enough.

FWIW, there's a html version of the manual that lists almost every grade of oil you can imagine as being appropriate.
