at around 42-43% oil life is usually around 6000miles on my truck, my dad went by the 0% oil life once, looked on the clock, it was around 11,000miles i think. won't do that again. you could probably get away with extended oil changes but is it really worth it? mine has 398xxxkm or 242xxxmiles on the clock and nothing but routine maint.
I don't keep my trucks past about 70,000 kilometers so I just run what the GM program says to do.
