Is there any harm in changing your oil more regularly than the official recommendation? I dont think so. And its not expensive to do
If you read the American forums on oil analysis, where they take this sort of thing VERY seriously, it is suggested that new oil inreases wear slightly, then it levels off, then increases again.
Was discussed the other day on a VW Tiguan forum I'm a member of and one of the US members takes an oil change kit on road-trips (3-4000 miles) and changes it mid way! Oddly (to me) they seem to think steady running is worse than mixed use.
