One of the things that shocked me the most when I first moved over here from the UK was that everyone was changing their oil at 3,000 miles -
that is unheard of in the UK unless you drive the Mazda RX8 with the rotary engine.
Most people over there change at around 10,000 miles or once a year, whichever comes first, and believe it or not the side of the roads are not full of cars with seized up engines.
If changing every 3,000 miles really gives you piece of mind then do it, but it really isn't necessary. The only people who want you to believe it is are the people selling the oil.
