Best to consult your owners manual, but in my opinion the old "3000 mile (5000 km) interval " is just too soon unless you are operating under extremely harsh conditions. It just produces more waste oil and you are spending extra $$$ also. New car engines run so much cleaner than old engines, and new oils are better also, so the 3000 mile interval is just something that make the shops, oil and filter companies happy.

If you change your oil around 5000 miles (8000 km), as I do, your engine should outlast the rest of the car no problem.
