Let's do the math:

I can spend an extra $10 every 3000 miles on more expensive oil.

I can spend and extra $10,000 every 3000 miles on a new motor.

Yep, still seems cheaper to pony up for the oil, even when changing it every 3000 miles. 'Course I change my oil once every 100 miles, or once every blown rod bearing... whichever comes first.
