I changed my factory fluids at 3,500mi and then switched to Royal Purple 10W-30 and a K&N oil filter. I ran this setup at a 4000mi interval, and on my last change I ran 5,000mi and drew a sample to send for an oil analysis. They suggested per this setup to run my next oil change for 6,500mi.
One thing to remember, our 2006 engines are consuming oil, mine consumed 1 quart of 5 quarts over a 5,000mi interval.

1 quart in 5k miles is not bad at all, just some mild blow-by
