I thought I could just stick to a 7500 mile interval with Redline like in the DIY that AK370 made but I realized at the next oil change how black it was. Since then, I've adjusted it to about 5000 miles. It really just depends on how hard you drive it. I drift mine and frequently hit redline

You can't base it off color, why not do an oil analysis to see the real condition of the oil?

It will do a few things for you--- Oil Analysis
-Give you the status/condition of your motor
-Confirm that you can or should change later
-Save you money for something else or your savings account

Educate yourself soon - Here is a news article and analysis of the issue from April 2012:
