If you drive your car for ten miles or more most every time you start it, you can go two to three thousand miles using modern, quality multi-grade oil. I'd change a partial flow filter at 4000 miles, and a full flow filter at every oil change. This assumes your engine is in good shape and in good tune. Short trips are hard on motor oil and on engines, especially in cooler weather. If you start it, drive it. It takes at least ten miles of driving for an engine to warm up, and it take more in cold weather or some types of driving. Try to drive the car for at least half an hour or more whenever you start it. Don't start it just to hear it run. That's both needless and abusive.
