To relate this to the thread let me offer this; Time is part of the requirement so you are entilted and required to change oil every 5 months OR 5k miles. Since I do not drive my car much I usually do the changes every 3500. At this interval the oil shows no signs that it is breaing down. There are no bubbles, smells or grit and I can still see through it on the dip stick. There is no doubt in my mind that it could go 5K but that would put me beyond the warranty requirements for time. I have never had to add any oil between changes. My car consumes about 4 Oz. every thousand miles or just over a pint in 5 thou. I drive fast but with respect for the machinery.

To the guys who are having the dealer do the severe maintenance schedule, does that still cover you to 45k miles? Because 5k intervals means they allow for 9 services...3750 will mean 12 services...does this mean they cover the 12 services up to 45k or will they stop 9 services in?
