I loved reading the tangent about oil changes.  Folks get really  
worked up about this issue.

On the one hand, it's true, scientific studies have shown that you  
don't need to change your oil every 3,000 miles...every 7,000 should  
do fine.

On the other hand, the comment that folks who change their oil  
religiously every 3,000 miles never seem to have to rebuild their  
engines, is empirically true.

It's another one of those things that folks have to decide for  
themselves.
