Was wondering if it is more beneficial to do the oil change every 4500 miles or just every six months. Will definitely will be using mobil1 full synthetic from this point on. Any comments or suggestions?

Hi djdrugga .....
You may wish to refer to page 37 of the maintenance guide for your car.
It suggests a oil change every 7,500 miles or 7.5 months.
It also says, under severe conditions (which includes repeated short distance driving) an oil change every 3,750 miles or 3.75 months.
Your call .....
