Personally I prefer Mobil 1 synthetic, but any oil that meets the manufacturer's specs will be adequate.

What kind of driving do you do?
If you check in the owners manual, it might mention sooner intervals for 'extreme duty' use. That means short stop and go trips not allowing the engine to fully warm up or heavy duty off roading.
If I am doing mostly highway runs, I go longer. That is 'light duty'. Mixed, then 3K is right on.

I also agree Mobil 1. I have a friend in New Hampshire that has a 94 Cadillac with 282K on the clock,motor runs like new, never a major repair. He changed his oil every 15K and the oil filter at 7.5K.
