You don't HAVE to change mobil1 at 3k miles either. Where is the proof saying that mobil1 can't do the same intervals as amsoil? Changing the oil really isn't a hassle, finding oil at a good price is. I can't get amsoil locally, and it costs a bit more than mobil1, then add shipping. And it cost more and was more of a hassle to get.
