28000 miles! Na moon you go? More like 2800 miles.

For most cars, the manual recommends 7500 to 10,000 miles, but that is for using recommended engine oil and filter which in most cases will be synthetic or synthetic blend. Surely, you will not be using the recommended oil.

So if using mineral oil (conventional oil) it is advised to go ½ way 3500 miles but if using synthetic blend 5000-6000 and if synthetic 7500-10,000 miles. Remember that filters are in grades too, you don't want to risk 10,000 miles on a N500 filter. If a filter blocks, the effect is worst than using same oil for 28000 miles.

Responsible oil changes.

Mineral Oil 3,000-5,000km
Full synthetic 5,000-7,000 miles.

Note 1mile = 1.6km when converted .

1mile = 1.6km rather
