I don't think you were supposed to change your oil at 3500.
It has been discussed many times that the factory break-in oil should stay in the car until about 10k miles.
If you followed your oil minder indicator, the period is correctly calculated.

That being said, I would have never made it to 10,000mi. on the factory fill - that would be suicide in my opinion.

thanks for posting, what oil were you running during the most recent drain?
The ones I've posted were:
Factory fill
Valvoline 5w30
Valvoline 5w30
Valvoline 5w30
Motul 8100 Eco 5w30.
I do have a 300V sample; I'll post that when I get home from work today. I also have another sample lying around that I need to send in

I think I can safely say that the maintanance minder will begin alarming at about 5500mi and reach 0% at 6000 miles. This was my car that was driven from Fla to California and back. on the factory fill and I was fully expecting 7500 for some reason. Ninety % of this driving was high speed Interstate so maybe it's a little different with a more normal daily routine.

They DO advertise zero shear....
The amount of anti-wear additive in 300V is amazing.
Keep in mind this is the stuff a lot of race teams throw in their cars... litterally the stuff you can buy off the shelf (albeit, usually a heavier weight; Subaru WRC team uses 20w50 Motul 300V)
