Class C Maintenance (Engine)

I just left from having a 5th Wheel to a Class C. My rig is only 3 months old brand new.

Looking at the maintenance book, as usual it says to do certain maintenance every 3, 6 and 12 months. However, we only go out once or twice per month and about a 500 mile or less trip. In the Maintenance book, it says to change my oil every 7,500 miles or every six months.

Is it really necessary to change the oil that regularly even if I put about 2,500 miles or less on it.

What do you experience Class C owners do.

Thanks....

    +1, except that I still have mine.
  • Thanks for all of the replies. I'll just check the oil after 6 months and see what it looks like and take it for there..
  • I have an 08 E 450 that I put about 2 - 3000 miles on a year. I was changing the oil every 6 mos. Now it's out of warranty I change once a year. Most of the miles gets put on in a 4 month period. hope this helps.
