Am I taking too much of a risk?

I don't know where in Houston you are, but there are places that are so cheap ($14.95 + disp fee + tax...$20.00 or less out the door for 5-30 bulk) in the area bound by FM 1960/State Hwy 249/I-45/and the Montgomery County line (Spring Creek), that it would just about be inefficient to DIY. Most places put a reminder sticker for 3k miles. I don't think you'd have to really worry about oil breaking down withing 3k miles, and you'd get a new filter each time as well.
