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.

One benefit to DIY (if its not cheaper) is you know your drain plug wont be stripped, the right amount was put in (3.7 NOT 4 which blew my oil pressure sensor) and auto transmission oil wasn't used.
