I know most manufacturers go longer than 3000 miles now, but I'd rather spend a few more bucks and just do it every 3000 to be safe.

With Mobil 1 synthetic you could go 10,000 before changing oil if you wanted to.

As long as I'm using conventional oil of any type, I'll never go over 2k, much less 3. It breaks down over time and heat, no way around it. A brand new motor with a great filter and conventional oil can lose a quart in 3k without leaking a drop. It just breaks down after a while.

Wow been awhile since I've seen you around Brian! Good to see you are still here (or that I'm just blind)
