you dont need to change your oil at every 3000 miles. you can do it at 5,6,7 or 10 thousand miles.

save oil and money by waiting a little longer maybe if everyone did this oil prices will go down.

This was just another way for the oil companies to get $$$....by telling you that u need to change the oil every 3K.....I always go 4500-5000 in my truck....but on my bike I do it every 3k cuz of the HIGH REV's

my bikes either don't last that long or I get rid of it before I even get to change the oil. LOL

as far as my truck, I change it every 7500 and my girls car every 5k.
