I too...for me that's half a year of driving.

I had to join the "Lifetime Oil Change" program at my mechanic, which I think
was $189, because the Honda Element is the first car I've ever had where I
can't change my own oil. (The filter is inaccessible without ramps or being
6'8".) They're happy to do it every four months but I think that's absurd.
They'll lose a bundle on me as I keep cars 15-17 years.

Either that or they won't bother changing the filter very often, like
the infamous jiffy lube people.
