Is that the 2.4L with the 4 quart sump? If so, you're replacing the entire sump in 6000 miles. I'd go at least 10k before changing, and get a UOA at that point to see how things are - you might not need to change for quite awhile. You may consider a higher mileage filter, or just keep changing it at 5k, whatever makes more sense for you.
