If the car has a turbo and direct injection and you go by oil color, you barely get off the driveway before having to change it. Oil goes black in under 100 miles. Doesn't mean it stops lubricating, these cars specify oils that technically can do 30k+ miles in some cases and then have you changing the oil at ~15k miles. I still keep around 6-10k myself (10-15k km really, but I be using miles for your benefit here).

Of course, I don't use cheap or low quality oils. I keep to Motul most of the time.

I have a 20+ year old car, not sure if that affects what you said or not, but I'll have to look into that. I've never heard that before.

Only if it's a diesel. Most older gasoline engines don't dirty the oil like this.
