It's 2011.  There are better ways to chose your oil change interval  
than "I thought". Used oil analysis can tell you an awful lot about  
the actual state of the oil.  It's a waste of money and natural  
resources to change your oil before it's needed, and changing it at3k  
because that's what you've always done is firmly in the wastefull zone.
Again,  it's 2011, oil and oil additive packages are way way better  
than they ever have been. Enjoy living in future.
