Oil Change/Air/Fuel filter change interval
I only drive my car 300-500 miles a year. Is it necesary to change my oil more often than once a year? Also, my car has 1600 miles on it and has been drivable for 3 years. I still have original air and fuel filters on it. Air filter appears clean. How often should they be changed? |

I think once a year is fine for a car driven less than 500 miles.

At less than 500 miles per year, those filters will still be usable by your next of kin....  |

Thanks Patrick. You're right about my next of kin. If I don't start driving it more, they will appreciate the whole car!

Agree. Just got too many hobbies that all require same kind of weather. Maybe I can change the work interval!

Once a year for the oil and filter.
Once a decade for the air filter. But rotate it periodically so the dirt is not too noticable on the front by the scoop opening.
