3K was a good value back in the days of the carburetor, when oil would get filthy in that much time. Since the advent of efi and the O2 sensor, oil changes can go more like 10K.
I once changed mine at 25K (on both my Jag and the Volvo). The Jag's oil was pretty nasty, while the Volvo's was only slightly darker than usual...
