I have a 2018 Holden Commodore 3.6 auto (the LGX engine), the equivalent car in the USA is the 2018-20 Buick Regal GS. I mainly do short trips, approx. 4 miles going to work and the same coming back every day in start/stop traffic, with some longer mileages on the weekend. In 3 months I average around 1,000 miles of travel, at this point I change the oil because I have read about severe oil service intervals, and also GDI carbon buildup issues some people have generally had (but not with the LGX engine). Also I get a lot of satisfaction in changing the oil and filter. I plan on keeping the car for a very long time.
I was wondering if I may be doing the engine long term harm by changing at 1,000 miles, as I recently saw a thread mentioning a 2007 Ford Motor Company oil test which stated that regular oil changes were not good for an engine, I was interested in people's thoughts on this subject.
