I'm just wondering what the average opinion is.

You are right. They are lying. The average opinion on this site is to change the oil every 1,000 miles depending on driving conditions. I personally in my H2 do an oil change every 250 miles but thats because I wanna be extra careful.
Listen man, it has been known for a LONG time that changes every 3k miles was excessive. GM isnt the only manufacture with this technology in place now. The reason they (all manufactures) have always said to do it this often is because they know people are too busy and forget. If they go say 4k or 4,500 miles nothing will be hurt. Now the technology is here so that the system monitors the breakdown of the oil and then this gives you a fairly reliable guide.
On my H2 I do not wait for the computer to tell me oil life is 0%. I usually get it done around 20-25% or so.
GM isnt trying to trick you as much as you would love to believe that.
