Let's see.
2 year old article.
Jiffy Lube does NOT recommend 3,000 / 3 months any more for almost 2 years.
Blanket statements really don't have any facts so they can be ignored.

They also make no distinction between conventional and synthetic for OCIs.
They run Valvoline quick change shops (at least in my neck of the woods)....conondrum? Our oil is the best yet you need to change every 3k?? Nothing like making dollars!
