I also ignore the FSS and change my oil (Mobil 1 0W-40) every 6K miles which is when I switch my summer/winter tires.

It's good to mention that what we should be discussing is a Schedule A or B service not an oil change. An oil change is just one part and a thorough inspection including brakes is just as important.
