Here is what I mean:



Although on the surface, after 12k miles, an oil change is definitely due.

However, with 4q total top up at every 3k interval, the weighted average oil age is around 8.2k miles.

Just a thought
What engine do you have? (Assuming a V8). I have an N52 and have never had to add oil between oil changes.
