Unless you have very specific usage that demands it, (pizza delivery or only use it for lest then 5 miles once a week in the winter) then you indeed may be "old school" (I use to change every 3K miles too). Having read lots about oil and seen many analysis reports at varying miles, 3K is just way to early and I don't believe you get an appreciable difference then changing at 5K miles or 6k as I do. Analysis indicates that there is just not much junk in the oil at that point. It may turn black, but that is soft carbon and will not cause any wear. It's also bad for teh environment. If my car had a larger crankcase (say 7 l like the 93SS) I would go even further, maybe 10K miles or more.
