If you live or drive in a dusty, dirty area, change it more often.  If not, 
go by the manufacturer.  I changed my first one at 30,000 miles and it still
was not that dirty.  I now live on a street where houses are still being
built, and the street is routinely dusty.  I can tell this filter will
probably be ready for a change at about an 18,000 mile interval.
