I replace mine every 15k miles. As Big D said, there only a few bucks and extremely easy to replace.

i've heard to replace at different times... 12k, 15k, 30k, and now 60k. granted, the 30k figure was thrown out by a friend of mine that's a mechanic...

i replaced mine today for the first time, and the used car had 105k, so who knows when it was last changed!
