I average 8000 miles before an oil change. I never take it in on an arbitrary number, but I check the oil periodically after about 5000 and take it when it needs it.
The 3000 mile recommendation still stands for cars from 20 years ago using non-synthetic oils. Technology has come a long way, and there's no reason to not utilize it to your benefit. Some cars with the right oil can safely go 15,000 miles before actually NEEDING an oil change.
