If your using conventional motor oil I would change it every 3,000 miles if your using synthetic oil I would go 5-6,000 miles if your burning a lot of oil in between oil changes I would only use conventional oil. If your not using a lot of oil I would 5w30 if your using a lot of oil and live in a warm climate I would use 10w40.As far as a oil filter I would use a wix one if you want a good one.Use a fram if you want a medium grade one as far as oil I like castrol valvoline mobil shell is good also.

Wix is the brand of the they come in a yellow and black box.I would use 5w30 oil since your not using much oil.
