I don't believe it calls for changing the oil that frequently. I would just top it off every 4-5k miles. I use the following:

You want to make sure it has the "NS" after 75w90.

Edit: I just checked the manual, and it states to change it every 30k miles. As mentioned above, I'd just check it and top it off every oil change. Mine is ALWAYS low. You may also want to pick up a syringe. I have this one, and it makes things much easier/cleaner:
