Heheh, in season I'd be changing the oil every 2-3 weeks if I did it at 3k. I'm a sales rep so the car sees 1k-1.5k miles a week between March and October. If I take it to a shop to get it changed they seem to use Mobil 1 more often than not and that turns to water around 6k but when I bring my own oil I use Castrol Edge extended (in the gold bottle) so I'm totally comfortable letting that go to 7500 or more. One of these days I'll remember to get a Fumoto valve so I can just do it easily in my driveway.
