I always taught that when you get a synthetic oil change it was suppose to last up to 5000 miles... Could the oil change place have made a stupid mistake?

The shop I go to always bring out a brand new un-poen box of Mobil 1, open it and put it in in front of me. So, I know they put Mobile 1 synthetic for sure.

yeah dude, they say come back in 3000 miles regardless. that way you pay them for twice as many oil changes. one thing though, and maybe someone else can comment on this, I would NEVER trust a garage or oil change place to put synthetic in my car. NEVER. you can't prove that they did or didn't and its cheaper for them to use regular oil. sketches me out. needless to say I do my own oil changes.

most garages buy the oil in bulk because its cheaper and in a large tank and when I was on the tools we used all the oil changes from one tank ( ill leave that to your own imagination ) I do my own oil changes that way I know whats going in there
