changing all 3 oil holes every 3k is a good thing

If you do it more than what the manufacture recommends your just wasting money. Does it hurt anything? No. Does it help anything? Only your brain and the oil companies pockets.
I have a 73 F100 with 390 that I havent changed the oil in over 7 years. It leaks enough that I get an oil change roughly every year
My plan of not changing oil was in hopes it WOULD break down which would force me to rebuild so I could fix the oil leaks and multiple exhaust manifold leaks. Amazingly that 41 year old truck with 220K still runs strong.

Certainly.
In my vast, vast experience I've found that the third hole option is predominately found accessible on rented rides.
At this time every option available is thrown at the potential owner - this is a great time to explore all aspects of riding but don't be fooled.
As exciting a time this is, potential owners may soon find themselves perplexed as after taking Full ownership, the third hole becomes welded shut and only accessible again on very special occasions such as your annual taking-ownership-anniversary day or maybe when feeding your ride glass after glass of high octane fuel.

I follow the service manual recommendations. Oil &. Clutch adjustment every 5K, primary every 10K, Trans every. 20K. Fork oil & fuel filter every 50K.
I do the same with my 4 wheel vehicles, anything more they mfg recommended service intervals is overkill.
I have 54,000 miles on the bike, and it still runs great.
