Josh, just a thought... If you change your oil by the FSS instead of every 3,000 miles you would probably wind up changing your oil every 2.5 - 3 months. At $100+ per oil change, that's a lot of beer (or Crossfire accessories) you're missing out on.
Also... Your car has a 70,000 mile powertrain warranty. So, if your engine blows up because of an oil related failure and you have been changing it according to the instructions, you're covered. Right? So stop listening to those Jiffy Lube commercials.
Don't worry. Be happy.
