Dealers aren't suggesting 3000 mile OCIs any longer. Most owner's manuals suggest 7500 miles or more these days for new cars. Some new Fords are on 12K mile intervals.

The real scam is $80+ for an oil charge when I can find Mobil 1 for $25 at Walmart and most shops charge $10-15 for labor.

If you want a real idea of what your OCI should be for your specific car, get an oil analysis done by Blackstone Labs.
