Here's how I do it. Check it everytime you fill up on gas. (Hey you gotta do something while it pumps, right?) Owning a rotary got me into this happen and it's worked great. You can just simply monitor the condition of oil. I always check for color change, smell, fuild level and inspect for metal shavings. On my old 6gc (5S w/ bolts ons) I used only mobil 1 syn and bosch filters. When I drained the oil it would still be at 70% after 3,000miles.
Bottom line, if it's clean and not leaking, leave it alone. Just change the filter every 3k -------------------- NASA/SCCA RX-7....currently under the knife
