Oil change intervals

I’m curious if anyone sticks to the recommended oil change intervals. I am old school and I find it hard to go 12k miles for the first oil change (I actually changed it at 8k) and now I have almost 14k miles on her and the manual says the next oil change is 24k. Way back when using the standard oils I did the 2,500 miles change, then when the Synthetic oil came out I finally got comfortable changing it at 5k. Now every 12k? Enlighten me please!

This is on my 2008 Cayenne Turbo.

IMHO... if you are using the factory Mobil 1 (synthetic) then 12K is fine. The oil will go actually go further.

But if you drive a lot of dusty roads or go offroad you likely want to cut that in half.

You could join another forum that I joined a little bit ago- www.bobistheoilguy.com There are users that post there UOA's from a wide range of vehicles. The site helped steer me to better air, oil filter and suggestions for oil change intervals.
