Exactly what I said the last 5 times this came up...............not
complaining.............happy to get a chance to say it again.......even
happier to see that more people agree with me than I had previously thought.

While I think paying "no mind to the mileage" can be a waste, as in some
of the examples in this thread, what Terry does will NEVER hurt
you...unless you forget to put the drain plug back in. You can't change
your oil frequently enough, it's just a matter of what is actually
necessary. Oil does not have an expiration date, it's just a matter of
acidity, dirt, moisture and additive & viscosity breakdown. Use common
sense.

Yes, it's kinda like taking a bath, you should take one at least
once a month whether you need one or not.
