Let's dive right in here; if you own a vehicle and are having the oil changed every 3,000 miles, you're doing it all wrong. This was the way we did things about 20 years ago but in today's world, vehicles are made with far superior parts, and the oil we are using is far more efficient than the oils of the past.
Many automobile manufacturers are saying that their engines will not need an oil change until 7,500 miles and some can go 10,000 miles before needing an oil change. Your habits as a driver will largely impact the oil life in your engine.
If you do a lot of heavy hauling, stop and go driving through big cities or make many short distance trips, these can all have some negative impacts on the oil life. After changing every 3,000 miles, waiting for 7,5000 can be scary to make sure you consult your owner's manual or dealership to make sure your engine gets the right oil and right changes.
