In my Honda, I do 5K since it does long trips. The Volvo get short trips so it's changed on time intervals of 6 months.

Many folks consider 3K to be a waste since, as Steve points out, there have been many advances in oil technology. But it's going to depend on the trips you take, local ambient temps etc.

www.bobistheoilguy.com has a heap of info too--worth checking out.
