[s-cars] Subject: ticking- should i worry?

[Theodore Chen]

i had an oil analysis done last year, after 7500 miles on mobil 1 15W-50 synthetic.  based on that analysis, it appears the oil could have gone at least another 5000 miles.  i decided to keep changing at 7500 miles for peace of mind.

Sure enough, the oil level is low. What do the experts suggest as far  
as mileage between oil changes? I was thinking 3000 since the s-car is
  
of the higher mileage persuasion.
