It demends on your driving. Lots of idling, short trips, stop and go driving will diminish oil life quicker than long highway miles.

Mine is down to 50% after 3,800 miles.

I've been following the maintenance minder and am going in Friday for my 3rd oil change at just over 20k miles so I'm getting nearly 7k per oil change. Seems pretty consistent with what GoHawks is getting.
