Many of these miles are from my work commute, 30 miles each way. No make up oil - this is the first car I've owned that doesn't burn any.. go figure. Filter was a Beck/Arnley. Once out of extended warranty I might up the OCI but its treated me well so far.

The iron. It's so low!

I agree with BS's comments to try 7500 miles with this oil (in fact, I think 10k would work well, but ease your way up). It's working well for you. Keep using it.
 
If, you were to extend the drain interval, I would at least keep up weekly checks of oil level when cold. At this point around 5k, you could siphon out through the dipstick, get most out and then change everything at 10k including oil filter. If its GDI, fuel dilution and thin oil scares me on any vehicle.
 
How's the gas mileage and dependability been ? How many miles ? Thinking of getting the '25 in early spring . Thanks for the U.O.A.. Helps with making a decision .
 
Seems the AFE is working for you. Have you seen an increase in MPG using it or too early to tell?
I used AC/Delco 0w-20 for the first 80k miles and I can't say MPG is any different with the AFE. Wish I had done a UOA with the Delco, though!

Lifetime average after 108,500 miles is 37.5mpg. Nothing has broken - all I've done is routine maintenance. Since I drive in the hills of PA, I did do a transmission fluid change at 60k and I'll do another around 120k when it's time for a coolant exchange.

I wish it had a little more power, and it does get blown around the road a bit at highway speeds, but otherwise I've been super happy with it.
