my jeep makes turns oil black in 2k. but im adding at least 2qts in between changes anyway. if youre doing changes at 3k and the oil still looks phresh, push your intervals. run the bigger m1-301 filter- its rated for 15k intervals iirc (but thats nutty) so doing 5k wont be a problem.
X2 My Jeep is the same way, it usually black in under 2k actually and I add a quart or two between changes. If GTX really went up that much I'll probably just start buying another cheaper oil.... guess i'll try the m1-301 filter next time around. any particular year of ford V8? or just look for the M1-301?
i personally believe 3k is unnecessary for an oil change now adays because the increase in knowledge and technology that is put into oil,filters, and engines. i usually just change my oil twice a year with 5-30 full syn. right before winter and 10-30 full syn. once it starts getting warm again. If it wasnt safe to go over 3k manufacturers wouldnt put oil life monitors in their cars that allow you to drive over 10k miles before telling you to change your oil, they also wouldnt advertise 7500 between oil changes in the owners manuals.
