I may bee wrong, it happens alot, but is 7000 a little to long of an oil change interval? I get nervous at 2800.

7k isn't that much with synthetic. Heck, 5k with dino oil and normal driving conditions isn't that much.

I usually run 5-6k on Mobil 1. Synthetic can go a little longer than dyno oil before breaking down. You have nothing to be nervous about at 2800 miles.

Any car could potentially go through a quart every 800-1000 miles.

I've known stupid girls that have gone 20,000+ miles without changing their oil. Of course that's not smart but didn't seem to cause any ill effects.
