In previous cars (e36 and 3000gt vr4) the oil change interval depended on usage. The vr4 turned Mobil 1 5w30 into water within 1200 miles of really hard driving. E36 got its oil changed before an autocross, or after about 3k, whatever came first.

After I switched to amsoil dominator in the vr4, I managed 3k between intervals and the oil looked like oil still.

After seeing those cars destroy oil (Admittedly, Mobil was shit, but I figured that out on my own) I don't believe in a standard interval unless it's activity based.
