3000 mile OCI are overkill. The owners manual probably says 10,000. I've been using 10,000 mile OCI for years on conventional engines and have several million trouble free combined miles.

But I wouldn't go 10,000 on a turbocharged engine. I have a 2020 Explorer with the 2.3 EB engine and change it at around 7000.

My owner's manual for the 2.0 Ecoboost says 3-7K intervals for severe duty.

Most people operate their vehicles in severe operating conditions (short trips in cold weather, high idle, off road or dusty conditions, stop and go / slow speed driving, etc).

Just change the dang oil already, cheapskates.
