I still maintain that spending an additional $30-$40 a year to protect your investmernt is prudent.
What are you guys afraid of?

The OP wated to know about their "first" oil change. What are your words of wisdom about that?

Not at all, oil changes at 3k miles are only detrimental to your wallet and we're saying 5k is just as good. The only thing I argue with is people telling me changing at 5k is going to kill my engine faster. I don't buy that

Yes, of course changing at 3k is better than 5k, heck I say changing oil whenever you refuel is better than at 3k, but it's overkill

The oil industry (and I mean that litterally) will thank you for it
