who does oil changes > 3k intervals?

I usually start paying attention at 3k (buy oil and filter if needed) and then don't actually get around to changing it until 4-5k. If you aren't revving the crap out of it I'm not sure why you would need to change it at 3k, not if you are using a high quality synthetic.

The real reason to follow the manual intervals is because every engine is built differently and around 3k miles oil is contaminated with 3% gas from blow by, whic his not the case on BMW and AMG due to tighter seals or whatever else their engine design is the culprit.
So mitsubishi engines get oil dirty. Period. No knowledgeable person would tell you "modern cars" and "syntetic oil" in one phrase.
So stick to schedule.

Same as above - you can run unicorn tears there but if your oil contains 3% gas it's lubricating properties are severely diminished.

That's a perfect interval but I'd swap it out if I was going to HPDE or autox or had let my car sit for more than a month with a lot of temperature fluctuations.
