IIRC, using a "GOOD" dino oil and changing it every 3k miles will yield the same results.

Nope, not the same. The fresh dino juice will not lubricate as well as the well-loved synthetic, at least if the synthetic is filtered properly. It will, however, not carry the same load of debris (filters are not perfect!) that the long-duration synthetic does.

My feeling is that, if you really want to do it "right", you use the top-quality synthetic and change it every 3000 miles.

I can't get myself to pour that kind of money away that often. Plus my engine leaks, which can get expensive with the $$$ oils.

To my view, a quality brand "dino" oil changed every 3K miles is acceptable. I can live with the cost/benefit tradeoff.
