I was in your same situation. I let Blackstone lab guide me though it. In the begining they wanted me to keep it below 5500 miles, then 6000 and now I'm at 7000 miles. In the comments section when you send the sample, ask them when you should do your next oil change. You don't have to do this for all oil changes during the ownership of the car but at least do it for the first 5 -6 so that you know what's a good interval.

I'm Redline Synthetic BTW

My VQ37 gets clean bill of health from Blackstone lab! WOOT (Redline Synthetic Oil)
