Are 3,000-mile oil changes really necessary?

[QUOTE="Andy Cabrera, post: 870332, member: 67579"] With Synthetic oil 5000 miles between changes fine but 3000 with conventional oil. Is it worth it? It depends on the driver. If you beat the hell out of you car, if you are in constant bumper to bumper traffic if you have a small engine then...yes. I've own air cooled bikes VWs & Porsches where oil is not only the lubrican but the lifes blood of them. 3000 or 3 months miles is a must. When I moved to VA I sold my 1965 Mercedes 220 Seb with 467000 mile. Oils changes done every 3k or 3 month. & I never replaced a non maintentence part on that engine! Worth it....yeah! [/QUOTE]
