NOPE! 1k, 3K, 6K...now I would go 5K between changes, but would like to ask where I can get the oil analyzed?

Change mine every 3K to 4K. I think the "CHANGE OIL" indicator comes on around 10K as mine indicates 65% at 3500 miles.

The oil change light comes on depending on the driving conditions. Mine was at 55% at 5000 miles.

the computer doesnt know when you change your oil,as far as the light coming on, you need to reset it when you do your oil change, it goes on miles, not how dirty your oil is. So for instance you can change your oil and five miles later have your light come on.
