Factory interval is 3750, so you're only 250 miles late.

With synthetics I was burning even less oil, not even 1/4 of the cross-hatch markings on the dipstick. You have even less to worry about with your "extended" intervals. Catch can doesn't solve the consumption, it just feels better knowing it's not going back into the intake stream.

I have occasionally had to add a quart between oil changes. But more often I'm just getting to the "add a quart" line when it's time for the change.

From what I've read, AP-1's tend to burn more oil than AP-2's. It was recommended that the factory oil be left in for the first 7500 or 10,000 miles (I think) in the first couple of model years to allow additives in it to seal the rings. I can't find any references to doing that in my '06 manual.
