Default OT Who changes their motor oil at 3000 miles?

All the oil change places still put 3000 in the window sticker.


My truck has a built in feature that puts a message up on the dash
readout when it's time to change oil. The owners manual says that the
message is based on a lot of things, including length of trips,
temperature, and driving habits, and to change oil when I get the
message, or at 7000 miles, whichever is sooner. The message typically
pops up at around 6000-7500 miles.

The factory dealer's service department still puts on the 3000 mile
sticker, though.
