I totally agree with you, cars will begin using oil before the computer says you should change it.
Many of my tractors and mowers the same way. I keep a very close eye on the dipstick. Some say change oil every 100 hrs. I have some mowers begin using oil after 50-60 hours. I buy good brand of oil on sale for around $2. Pick up some full synthetic for around $3 on sale. I use full synthetic in my old Jubilee only because spin on oil filter sits sideways and over time 1/2 the oil in filter drains back.
I use full synthetic in my generators too. If a generator runs 24/7 it doesn't take long to rack up the hours. The engine only holds 500 ml too. So I check the oil on all my tractors, mowers, generators before I start them.
Nothing I have makes it to the time manual says I should change them. Changing oil is Cheap insurance.
