There is a reason for the old cliche' "pay me now or pay me later". I take care of my vehicles and they last until I am ready to trade, not when they break down. Just wanted to mention it here, it isn't going to work for everyone.
You should start making decisions about your car based on fact, science and solid information. Because if you knew how oil works, you would not write the crud you do. 6,000 to10,000 is not unreasonable if one uses good synthetic oil and applies oil change intervals according to their driving conditions. I have cars that have lasted 300,000 miles with 6,000 to 10,000 oil changes, and they never burnt any oil, and drove like new.

Wise up here: www.BobIsTheOilGuy.com and check out their forums.
