I change mine between 4500-5500 miles and have put around 175k on each car before trade in and have never had a problem with the engine.

I remember hearing a race car driver say that the 3,000 mile “rule” for oil change is not really true, that 10,000 mile interval is sufficient - but went on to say that he went ahead and followed the “rule” anyway every 3,000 miles just to be doing apparently, but said there was really no real basis for it.
