Answer me this if someone can...  Has anyone bought a car with lifetime oil changes?  If so, how does it work?  Do they follow the manufacturer's recommendations or do they change it say every 3k miles if the recommendation is 5k?

My Ridgeline came with free oil changes for the first 3 years/36k miles of ownership from the dealer.  They would only change it based on Honda's schedule, every 5k miles... and it was non-synth too.  What's funny was when the freebies were over, they wanted to start changing it every 3k with synth... LOL!!!  NOT!  I switched to synth, but I wait till 5k miles before changing at least.
