Over several oil changes in my Dak and the Stratus with several tests
from Blackstone on each of them at different intervals, I've settled on
5000-6000 miles as being a good compromise. Still plenty of additive
left and contaminants are within acceptable limits on the >conventional
oil<. I've gone as far as 7500 miles and that was on the edge, according
to the Blackstone report. I feel much better having objective numbers.
Of course, there are many variables so these numbers probably specific
to my individual situation.
