Don't wait until your car starts sludging oil or smells like it is burning it off. Routinely changing your oil is good insurance that your engines parts are properly lubricated.
It is also a good idea to check the air filter at the same time as your oil change. Some air filters last longer than others. Look at it good and if it looks dirty or ineffective, replace it. There are more expensive after market reusable filters like cold air intakes which can actually add about 5 to 10 horsepower to your car and slightly increase fuel economy. They are more expensive than regular air filters which usually run around $10. Cold air intakes (which became popular after the hit movie The Fast and The Furious and the recent rise in illegal street racing) cost between $70 and $200depending on the manufacturer and quality. In the long run cold air intakes are well worth it as they will save you money!
