Maybe it's my old thinking but I still keep at 3000 miles despite the fact my service van is mostly highway miles.

None of this is new; it's been this way for decades but it appears nobody got the memo.
Well, it does take a lot of work to crack open that Owner's Manual so we can hardly expect motorists to do all that. And there you are, you have the information and STILL you cling to the old spec for no other reason than... what? Habit? That's what Grandpa did?
