Seems to me that 3,000 miles is somewhat on the short side, but....how many months does it take you to accumulate this 3,000 miles? If it's over 12 months for example, then you're probably changing it at the correct interval.
Secondly, how "hard" do you drive it ? You may only drive 3,000 miles, but if you do it mostly at 6,000 rpms......perhaps 3,000 miles interval is good.
Just some ideas...
I'd recommend to 5,000 miles with Mobil 1 xW-30 (0W, 5W, or 10W- 30). Use a good filter, like PureOne , and you'll be fine. I personally have gone out to 10,000 miles between changes on Mobil 1 (it was 10W-30 for me at that time) without incident.......
Other posts on this BB from those who have had their oil analyzed seem to indicate even longer intervals.
