Your owners manual will give you the recommended mileage between oil changes and I will bet its more than 3000 miles. Synthetic vs Dino oil is a oft argued subject. If it were mine I'd go for a quality Dino over the synthetic
But you need to change the oil once per year regardless if you have met the miles or not. Water, fuel and other contaminates will be in that oil.
And at least once a month to take it out for a good 30 mile plus ride, That will heat the engine enough to burn off the water condensation in the crankcase and exhaust.
