Click and Clack call FI cleaning 'wallet cleaning'.

I think they referred to it as the "Bilstein Wallet Flush."

3000 mile oil changes are popularly known as "recreational oil changes."

The term "recreational oil changer" was coined to define people that
change their oil far more than necessary because they actually enjoy
doing it. It's easy to understand the psychology behind the recreational
oil changing. It's the visceral feel of the tools, the victory when that
old oil filter breaks free, the hot dirty oil pouring out, the joy of
oiling the gasket on the new filter, that new copper or fiber gasket on
the drain plug, the clean amber oil going in, and the sense of
accomplishment when you start the car, the oil light comes on for a
moment, then goes out. For $12-15 in oil and parts, it's pretty cheap
entertainment.

Or course if people would be content to do it only when it provides some
benefit to the vehicle it would be better, and fortunately there are
very few people still naive enough to do 3000 mile oil changes.
