What should I do...

Here is a little background info.

I have changed my oil 2 months ago at a lube center but on the sticker it says next scheduled oil service is ##,### miles/3 months. My question is I haven't been using my car that often. Maybe 20 miles a week at most. Should I change my oil if I reach the 3 months length since I changed my oil? or should I continue to change my oil until I reach 3000 miles? What is your opinion?

3 months is 3 months if it comes before your 3000 miles then do it. Old oil that isn't run that much can go bad in the same amount of time that oil that is used alot.

true, just change it urself, its cheaper too. either way, dont cheap out on your engine, its only a few bucks to keep it running good. the more little stuff you look passed will eventually add up.
