    Using AutoRx... you change it when you put it in... change oil and filter at 1500 miles... and then once again at 2000 more miles.....

    thats the official instructions... you can do it more often.. changing the filter is important
    If it cannot be fixed by the dremel or ducktape.. get out the sledge...
