Oil change intervals with synthetic oil?

I got a 1996 Toyota Corolla with around 109,500 miles on it. Ive been good with maintenance with the vehical. My question is, $50 for a synthetic oil change is a little too pricey. Do I really need to change my oil every 3,000 miles / 3 months or can I go longer because I use synthetic?



I service at Jiffy Lube, they are great there.



I also want to learn how to do my own oil change sometime too...Oil change intervals with synthetic oil?you should go by the manufactures recommendations that makes the oil. you will get different answers from different people about how far to go in between oil changes, but from personal experience changing the oil ever 3000 miles has always done me and my family very good, for example my brother has a 99 f150 5.4 that has over 250,000 miles on it and changes the oil every 3000 and hasn't had to do anything to it besides maintenance work to it, anyhow for you question i believe it is that synthetic oil is more forgiving if you go over manufactures recommendations, and im not sure of what kind of oil they use at jiffy lube but valvoline makes an oil that is called max life and it is for vehicles with over 75,000 miles on it, its a synthetic blend and has special friction modifiers and seal conditioners in it for high mileage engines, so if the $50 is to much i know that the max life is a little bit cheaper or see if the oil that they use has a oil for higher mileage engines or what not I hope this helps good luck!!
