Re: How many months between oil changes?

Wait for the 3k, or whatever your owner's manual says. Shelf life of oil is in the years, not months, so you won't have any problems. At only 2200 miles, the drive to the Jiffy Lube is better for your 4R than the actual oil change, honestly.

My advice is to change the oil at the mileage indicated (synthetic for more confidence), and start your 4R atleast once a week and let it run for 5-10 mins. Let it get up to operating temperature. Short little runs aren't the greatest thing in the world for an engine, but its much better than letting it sit for a month and then starting it after all the oil has drained to the pan.

Jiffy Lube makes more money when you bring it in every 3 months, remember.
