If you still have the owner's manual, all of the info is in there.

But if you go by what the manual says, you'll be at the dealership every 3000 miles. What is the common interval that most people go by? Like 30,000 then 60,000 then 100,000 or something like that?

The 3000 miles is typically for an oil change (and it actually states 5000 miles for that). Take a look around the 40k, 50k, 60, 100k, mile markers in the manual, THOSE are the intervals to use.

30K miles for stuff like plugs, air filters, an such. I also did a radiator and tranny flush since it's cheap insurance. There is another milestone at 46,000 but I have to look it up yet. I'm at 42K now. Probably checking belts, hoses, etc. Here, I found it:
