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.
In 1989, the International Triathlon Union (ITU) was founded in Avignon, France, and the first official World Championships were held. The official distance for triathlon was set at a 1,500m swim, a 40km cycle and a 10km run â taken from existing events in each discipline already on the Olympic programme.
