Dear Sheila, Engines are much more efficient than what they used to be. Most vehicles don't need an oil change before 7500 miles. It's always best to go by your manufacturer's recommendations. You can find this information in your owner's manual under maintenance. That being said, if you want to change your oil every 3000 miles, you will never hurt it! It's a matter of cost really. You may not need to do it so frequently. Hope this helps. Lori Johnson www.ladiesstaryourengines.net
