I saw a 2003 Chevrolet blazer 4.3 v6 today that has 144,000 miles on it come in for an oil leak (loose dip stick tube)
this engine ran great!
When we fixed the tube we checked the oil and it was tar i mean black as tar when i asked the customer when he changed his oil he said never he just adds!
I said im sure it must have been changed and he says absolutly not and he does not want it changed because it is the oil companies that made the 3000 mile myth to make more money.
He bought this Blazer at 28,000 miles and never ever changed the oil.. He also said he does this in all his cars and never had an oil related problem he just adds when it needs it and he checks it all the time..Remember this engine runs very well.. I am a firm believer in oil changes between 5,000 and 6,000 miles at the most... Who knows?
