I think it really depends. In my mom's 07 Caliber, the intervals are said to be 3000 miles for the "drive in rough conditions" one, and 6000 for the "normal" driving conditions.
Most people don't realize that they fall into the normal one and go by the rough conditions intervals.
We both fall into the rough conditions interval. Really dusty roads, lots of unpaved roads, trips are generally 10 miles or less to school/work and back. and Etc. Etc.
When I see Europe, I don't think Hick town dirt/gravel roads and nasty air quality, and I think all paved roads. They fall under the regular category.
Most people don't go to the dino every few thousand miles and get an analysis done. they get it changed at the local lube place and head off. I sure don't, I buy the oil myself and change the stuff in my grandpa's driveway. Saves me lots on the labor, and makes me feel not lazy. Same with my tranny fluid and gear oil. It's all simple stuff.
