I think you are wasting oil.
3000 miles is far too frequent.
When was the last time you heard about an oil related engine failure,
even with people who run the same oil for a couple of years?
Yiou haven't been reading the automotive press - pbviously.

EVERY ONE of the "coking" failures, whether Chrysler, VW, Toyota, or
who-ever is a "lubrication related failure" - and virtually NONE of
them occured on a vehicle following the "severe service" oil change
specification.
