Generally a little over 3,000 miles. About 3,500 miles, but never the 4,000 mark.

Well this has been covered many many times, but the 3,000 mile rule is just a brainwash so oil companies sell more.

7500 for mostly highway / 5000 for city-highway mixed

I do it every 5000..... oil looks pretty clean at 3,000 so its pointless. I don't really care about the deposits either...
