Should I change my oil?

I wouldn't trust the Nissan oil for anything close to 10,000 miles, it is not a full synthetic as best that I can determine.

The general consensus is to change your oil at least once a year in low mileage vehicles. If most of your miles are from short trips I would be changing the oil every 3000-5000 miles depending on the oil.

Wow... I must be doing overkill. Car has 2500 miles already doing my 2nd oil change this weekend. Car is almost a year old. I change oil 2x a year (amsoil) regardless of mileage.

Time is also a needed reason to change.

The VQ also wears very poorly during the first 5-6K miles, and pretty rough all the way up to 15k or so. I try to change my oil as frequently as I can early on.
