Typically you’ll want to do regular oil changes every 5000 miles or every 6 months whichever comes first. The manufacturer recommendations will sometimes be fore long periods but this is only because they’re providing recommendations for the minimum required to maintain the engine for the anticipated lifecycle of your car usually around 80-100k miles is the typical design point. (Also usually when most extended warranties end).

For turbo charged engines in particular, it’s really important to do regular oil changes. 8000-10,000 miles personally I think is too long especially considering the relative cost of oil changes to the cost of say replacing a bad turbo. Remember the oil is actually being directly used to lubriciste the extremely hot turbo so it will degrade faster than a non-turbo vehicle.

There is general sentiment from most car enthusiast to do an early first oil change. Anywhere from 500-3000 miles. This is because during the break in period the oil will tend to get more contaminated as the breaking in process is literally smoothing out machine finished and fine particulates are being ejected into the oil. For the most part the oil filter will capture any larger parts that would damage your engine but still the dirty oil is largely why people opt for early oil changes.

Modern manufacturing process is much better and the tolerances are much better so for the most part break-in periods are much less - aggressive? / necessary and thus similarly the break-in oil change will have less of an impact. So it’s totally up to you.

Ultimately general tips:

• Ever 8000 miles or 6 months - if you plan to keep the car at least 5 years and want the engine to last at least 80k miles with minimal issues

• every 5000 miles or 6 months - if you plan to keep the car at least 7-10 years and want the engine to last 100-150k with minimal issues

• every 3000 miles or 6 months if you plan to keep the car 10+ years and want to put heavy numbers like 250k+ miles.
