Of course everyone is different but I change mine every other track event.
Or 1k-1500 miles if no track events attended.

Mobil 1 0w30. It's reasonably priced if you buy in bulk and change it yourself.

Also, Pepboys has a coupon in their calender which you recieve 3 quarts offully synthetic Mobil 1 free with purchase of 3.
So you get 6qts for the price of 3qts.

You spend a hell of a lot of money on oil changes.

On the EP3 I use regular Castrol GTX changed every 5000 miles.

How so if you drive your car 1500 miles every 3 months?
Dont mind keeping the turbocharged engine clean for $10 bucks a pop.
5k? Wow, track days and all huh?
