I try to push myself to change it every 2500 miles, with 5W-30 Mobile 1 Super Synthetic oil.

You should do whatever comes first....3 months or 3000 miles. However, if you only get like 1000 miles in 3 months cause you only drive it every other day, then it would be adviseable to wait a little longer.

You should really change the oil depending on how you have driven your car.
IE. I change my oil after long road trips and more often during autocross season.
