^^^ On synthetic, if you're just daily driving, 6000 is what you'd expect on average.

3000K = Dealer revenue stream
Quote:
I used to change Spark Plugs, Contact Points and Condenser every 1500 miles in the old days also. But the automotive industry has come along ways in the last 50+ years since I started driving. Toyota for example recommends 5000 miles between changes using regular oil. The Dealers are still hanging onto the 3000 mile thing as a revenue stream and they are trying to convince you to also.

 Keep on truckin'!!!Anyway, as technology gets better, the need to maintain something becomes less arduous. Of course, that is if you don't take your vehicle to the limit often. If so, then following a strict and comprehensive maintenance program is key to longevity. Otherwise, just follow your manufacturer's suggestions and you'll be fine.
