I have had a number of new cars over the years... and a few used I bought from family members...
NONE have had their oil changed before 5,000 miles... and none have had any engine failures because of this... I did have one engine problem when I had an oil leak I did not see and it broke a piston ring... I ran that car 3 more years before I fixed it...
All cars have made it close to 100K miles or more... except for one of my favorites I did not drive much... totaled it at 45K miles...
It is a myth that you have to change the oil... if you believe in it then do it... it does not cost that much to make you feel better...
