OMG more 3,000 miles posts! My head is going to EXPLODE! EXPLODE! Seriously...where are my 'not going to explode meds'?

3000 miles is marketing BS brought to you by the oil and auto service industries. There is zero need to change oil that early when using conventional let alone synthetic used in a daily driver. Period.

I think I'll start a list of just a few articles that have tried to debunk this myth...

OMG JIFFY LUBE says is it bs...

GM lowers the interval to 5000 for a set of problem children...5k, not 3k.

Just don't forget to check your oil. You should CHECK your oil every month if not more.

<end rant...but I'll be watching you... -.- >
