Default Re: Oil change time

Well I got one on my lunch break with Jiffy lube, full synthetic, $67. What puzzles me is they recommend changing the oil in the next 4000 miles. Thought I could go at least 6,000 miles or more on fully synthetic. Am I wrong? The Jiffy lube sticker they put on my windshield says to change the oil next 3,000 miles. May as well use regular oil if thats the case. What's the real story on synthetics; anyone?

Anyway I was having such a good time vacationing from Florida to the grand canyon guess I forgot about oil till the indicator reminded me after I returned...at 11,600 miles!

I was getting as high as 21 miles per gallon at around 70 mph, and I have an automatic. Not one problem except I let someone else drive while vacationing and after snoozing I discovered my windshield had a small stone chip. Last time I let someone else drive...
