That 3000 mile change has been pounded into our systems. My wife panics when she is at that 3k mark no matter what I tell her. It's like japanese cars. We all think they are better. And at one time they were. The cars built by american companies today are every bit as good. Hell i've seen Hyundai's with 200k on them, who the hell thought that would happen 15 years ago.

I have no problem changing the oil in my car every 7500 miles. And as for filters, they used to only be changed every other change, almost any car manual from the 70's will tell ya that.
