I don't drive much anymore, but I try to keep my car in shape. The oil is typically changed at the 3 month period, but it's not uncommon for me to have driven 1,500 - 2,000 miles since the last change. Probably 75% of my driving is for trips less than 10 miles. 3,000 miles or 3 months between changes is recommended. But what if I only drive half the amount of miles? What happens to the oil to make a recommendation of 3 months maximun between changes? If I drive it for 5 months, and 3,000 miles, is that detrimental?
