We've said it before and we'll say it again: This is a myth for the vast majority of modern cars. The 3,000-mile oil change is the credo of the quick-oil change industry and dealership service departments, designed to regularly get you into the service bay. (Jiffy Lube recently abandoned its advocacy of the 3,000-mile rule, but clings to severe-schedule advice with which Edmunds disagrees. More on this later.)
Blenheim Palace Triathlon. Youâll have to be quick if you want a place as this event sells out fast â and for good reason. The amazing setting and beginner-friendly lake swim combine with two distances â super sprint (400m swim) and sprint (750m) â for a truly memorable first triathlon.
The swim distance in most Olympic triathlons is 0.9 miles. For a 70.3 race, it goes up to 1.2 miles. This 0.3 mile difference equates to 528 yards. For those that are concerned about more pool time, no worries because this increase in yardage won't take muchâif anyâincrease in swim training time.
