I could be wrong, but isn't the 'every 3000 miles' thing not correct for newer vehicles?

I just check my oil and rely on my sensor to decide when I need to get an oil change. The sticker that the company puts on my car means nothing to me.

Yeah, check your owners manual, it might be different.

Oil sensors are generally nothing more than timers. You'll have separate warnings for low oil level or pressure, but there's no sensor that will deduce when it's time for an oil change. Your best bet is to go by the manufacturer recommendations - for Ford, it's every 10,000 miles or 7,500 in "severe traffic" areas. If you don't hit those mileage figures, you should be changing your oil every 6 months or so.

Good call. I looked mine up:

2008 and newer model-year vehicles: every 7,500 miles or every six months, whichever comes first

Those oil stop places are shameless.
