I was doing changes every 5000 miles like the manual recommends -- but I was doing it to extend the longevity of the engine and turbo, not to save on oil changes. Since I now do mostly around town driving, I switching to a 3,333 mile cycle. The oil looked dirty last time. FWIW, the car still uses no oil between changes, and the last Blackstone labs oil analysis looked amazing.
