I can understand your ignorance is bliss approach to extended oil changes, but that is typically reserved for those who have no mechanical sympathy.
You only need a couple of oil analysis reports to
learn the optimum change interval for your application. There is no need to keep sending the oil in once you have the OCI dialed in, unless you just want to or unless you drastically change the service of the vehicle, i.e., switch from all highway to all city.
Guessing the condition of your oil is just that.
PS - did you ever unplug your gas gauge? I think one of your last off-topic rants indicated that you should just fill up more often and you never have to worry about how much gas you have.
