Mechanics also tell you to change your oil every 3k miles. frick that noise, you can go a minimum of 5k. I use synthetic and I go about 8k between oil changes on a vehicle with 130k on it; all highway though.

This.

DIY for $25-$35 or go to an oil change place and get changed for $50-$75.

Many reports have come out that synthetic oils can go towards 10K between changes.
