    Default Service Schedule

    I'm assuming I have a typo in my owner's manual, or at least that's what 3 dealerships in my area are telling me. My manual says that for the 3.8, oil should be changed every 7500 miles. Can anyone confirm that their manual says the same? It seems high to me as I thought that even synthetic is only good for 5000 miles.

    I called 3 dealers in my area and, while it was funny they all gave different numbers (one said 3000, another 3400 and another 3700), they all said that 7500 "can't be right". One guy actually said, and I quote, "These guys are in Korea what do you expect?" Needless to say I am not going to that dealer for service.

    7500 miles is sort of the industry standard. Read these.
