Old school guy here in S Texas changing synthetic M1 5-30 oil every 3K miles or so.

Why is he changing the oil every 3k? Does he have blackstone results that indicate he's wearing that oil out THAT fast?
I'm seeing as much as 6.5-7.5k per oil change is normal using M1 from oil analysis results posted here regularly. I could give you links if wanted
EDIT - refer:

If you feel better changing at 3 that'll be fine but you could save a bit of money and the analysis shows you're safe to do so.
