I don't like to wait for the 10k increments, so I take it in every 5-7k.

Perfect. My car(s) begin to consume even quality oil after 6k miles.

Default aren't you a bit late?
every 5-7k miles should be at either 15 or 21k miles. Unless you changed at 5k then another 5k then at 7k after, at which point i'm just a blubbering idiot.

Default Here's what I did Dickie.....
1st oil change: 6500
2nd oil change: 10k
3rd oil change: 17k...which is today.

17,000/3 = 5666.66666666666666666666666666666 miles per oil change

Default My dealer suggests I have them change the oil every 5k miles.
They don't charge so I'm not going to argue. They also claim to *only* use synthetic oil now.
