Actually I would advise 3000 mile oil changes on most "new" gas engines. While many will go on and on about what a waste of money and resources it is all I have to say is that most of the engine problems people have had in the last 10 years have been related to dirty oil. Engines 15-20 years ago and older only used the oil for lubrication of internal parts - with modern oils and a decent engine going 6K to 8K miles is a breeze. But so many of todays engines use oil pressure for timing chain tensioners and to run various forms of the variable timing set up. Ford, GM and ESPECIALLY Chrysler have all had fairly major engine issues and have many times put the blame back on the consumer claiming the failures are related to lack of maintenance because the internals are dirty. Ford's cam phasers - especially on the 5.4 come to mind, GM has redesigned their 3.6 engine so many times people have lost count and don't get me started on Chrysler's issues with everything in general (sludge, oil returns, timing chain tensioners etc..). Given a self performed oil change with a quality oil filter is about $20 to $25 I'll keep sticking with 3000 miles.

The gentleman no longer farmed because the entire area was developed with housing and light industry. I had stopped several times and knocked on the door but no one would answer. My curiosity was up and I wanted to contact the owner. I wanted to see what he planned to do with the combine.
