Last 2 oil changes with Synthetic I've been over a qt low when the change oil light comes on. Averaging 6500 miles per oil change but I'm not too crazy about it running low. I may go back to dino oil and the 3000 mile changes.

At around 160,000 miles, I had to start adding oil before being prompted by the truck's computer.  Typically go 8000+ miles on oil before changing.  Been using Redline synthetic for last 150,000 miles or so.
