Great Thread!!
I think the key to this discussion lies in a couple of the replies.
1. Y.M.M.V. Your mileage may vary. Oil change intervals must be adjusted according to the severity of service.
2. Everything is breaking in, not just the engine. I do believe I will do my transmission fluid as well b4 10 k comes up.
Look at the huge business's (jiffy lube et all) that uses the 3 k interval to drive their business. To me, 3k is a holdover from what, the 1940's or something. Wild guess there but that interval is pretty much BS to me.
Oil's whether they be synthetic or dino have changed and improved by orders of magnitude from the time that the 3K interval was the standard. As has engine construction. Yet somehow the old myth of 3k is still with us.
