Might have got switched out for an oil cap for another car somehow? Many of them are interchangeable. For instance, I'm using a cap from a C5 'vette that was 5w30 Mobil1.

Mine says SAE 5w30, Your cap must have been replaced or something..

Don't add anything to your oil. It's a gimmic. It doesn't do anything, and may actually hurt your oil. All you need to use is good oil of the proper weight, and that's it.

i think you are wasting your money if you are changing your motor oil at even 5k. unless you have a high performance motor and running it hard, on a normal motor under normal driving conditions you should change oil at 10k. i have stuck with this on all my cars i have owned. 1988 Chrysler Daytona with 65,000k had it for 8years ended up with 550,000k. 2001 ford tarsus had 25,000k when i bought it, i had it 9years ended with 630,000k now i have a 2002 olds alero and i'm changing the oil at 12,000k, but now i am using synth oil. just my 2 cents

your invalid as a person if you can't do a little conversion, 3000 miles is about 5000 k.
