Trust it. Changing oil at 3000 miles is a waste of money, and of oil (ahhhh precious oil) Today's fuel injected engines don't crap the oil up like the old carbed/choked engines. I can't find it right now but I've seen tests confirming that GM's oil change intervals are still conservative. If have any fears, run synthetic, get better oil AND the piece of mind. The computer's going off of how you drive. Trust it.
