I change my oil twice a year which is about about every 7000 miles these days. Generally the oil level low light comes on just about that time. I belive that is about 2 qt in 7000 miles.

So I guess Im 3/3 of the dipstick in 7000 miles verses your 3/3 in 6000 miles. Sound fine. And if you change it every 3000 miles who cares.
