Only on the fixed service - otherwise it's nearer to 18,000.

The oil is fully synthetic and (just for reassurance on that 3000 thing) -
my 1971 mini used to go 6000 between changes. That's with 1950s technology,
and mineral oil.

Extreme climate and performance aside, 3,000 is very low and (AFAIK) very
much a US thang.
