- If you don't have time to do it right will you have time to do it over?
Oil doesn't need to be changed because it failed somehow, it needs to be changed because it gets polluted/diluted with moisture and combustion byproducts. The more it operates below normal temp, the harder you accelerate, the more short trips, the faster it gets polluted. If you do long highway drives it will stay clean longer than it would doing short trips around town.
