1..car oil changes every few thousand miles.

I've used synthetic oil for years and always have it changed within the service interval.
With my turbocharged car, the garage used to laugh at me for that, but did it anyway (I had to supply the oil). Only after it had passed the "the turbo usally fails after..." by several 10s of thousands of miles did they take me seriously. It takes avoiding only one big repair bill to make it worth it.
