Use the oil life monitors. It monitors what you mentioned and more. One MUST make sure that oil levels say full. With the advent of synthetic oils at a watery viscosity engine oil burning is as much a problem as it has ever been. Some oil life monitors the oil temperature as well. Lower oil levels shorten the oil life by running hotter and the ecm detects that and clicks the oil life away faster, Aside from that most vehicles do not use an oil level monitor anymore. Mostly due to an added leak potential area. I use the oil life on my wifes Cadillac DTS and my Buick Park Ave and change it around 5 percent. Most every dime I have earned in my entire adult lifetime was from building engines and I am fine with that. Don't listen to ones who stick by some rigid mileage code that their grandad instilled in them. Yea, mine did me too, but we have come a long way.
