Unless your engine is totally worn out and your using recycled oil?
All manufacturers recommend 5,000 to 10,000 miles today. The majority have 7,500 miles for many years now, while recently most are moving to 10,000 miles. As long as you use a premium oil and not some cow poop oil, anything sooner and your wasting money and resources.
Premium oils have additives that fight wear, fight acids, and clean the engine. They have cold start and "dry" start additives. This lowered wear and keeping the piston rings clean means the engine last longer and does not burn any oil. Premium oils dont have to be fully synthetic but just a higher grade oil with a great additive package. Read your owners manual in most cases. Bump up to a simi synthetic and move to 10,000 mile oil changes and have even better engine life and up to a 2% to 5% increase in mpg on top of that.
Oils have improved dramatically from the 1960s and engine life is now 200,000 miles easily with 10,000 mile changes with a "premium oil".
