For my Chevy Silverado, I aim for 15% on the OLM, which is consistently in the 7000-7500 mi ballpark.
6,000 miles on synth PP + Ultra. Mazda CX5
10K, or once year which ever come first on my Exploder. BMW every 3 years, VW every 8,000KM

Every 6 months on my Altima and Tacoma while they are under warranty. Both are low mileage of less than 5K every 6 months The 03 Camry (daughter drives) gets an OC every 5k, she puts 20K a year on it.

Mines supposed to be 10k/1year. I might finally do that with Ultra in the Jag. Couldn't bring myself to do it on conventional. Not sure the recommended interval on the LS. I usually do it around 3k-5k miles which is what it sees in a year.
2004 Honda Odyssey = around 5-7k, which is usually 4-5 months. I always forget to reset the maintenance minder, otherwise I'd use that. The maintenance light/indicator seems to suggest 7k intervals. Use 5w-20, usually synthetic.
2002 Mazda Tribute 3.0 V6 = around 5k as it doesn't get driven very much. Works out to about every 6 months. Use 5w-20 or 5w-30 conventional.
1996 Nissan Maxima 3.0 V6 = around 5k, use synthetic or a syn-blend 5w-30 or 10w-30 in this one
1985 Ford F250 460 V8 = usually 3k (it also doesn't get driven much) or whenever I feel like I've mixed too many different types of oils through it as top-up. It has a leaking rear main, so I usually top-up with whatever bottle of oil in the garage that has the seal broken. I try to do a change in early summer using 15w-40 HDEO, then a change in early winter to 10w-30 HDEO. That works out to about 3k intervals.
All our vehicles are mostly highway miles.

Once a year or before a long (over 4 month) storage.
Usually end up being 2500 miles or so.

Of course if the car is new, then I follow the book, so I don't void the warranty. (I also stick with the recommended grade even if it's inferior 0W-20.)
Have been doing 10K OCIs for 39 years now with M1 oils. At present I am doing 10K OCIs with the SUPERIOR M1 0-20AFE.

Caravan will be a 10,000 km OCI on PPPP 5w-20
Civic is 5000-6000 km on Mobil 1 with the oil filter being changed every second OCI. Once the Mobil 1 stash is done I'm going to extend it to one year or 10,000 km per year on the civic using PPPP 5w-30.

15,000km or 12 months in the Mitsubishi, as per warranty requirements. Every 10,000km for the Falcon, because it's easy to remember. Can't believe the short intervals some of you are running!
