Make sure you check it correctly. Operating temperature. Level ground. Shut it off and wait for it to drain down before checking the dipstick. Many have overfilled by not following the correct procedure, and so getting an incorrect reading.
I wouldn't increase oil change frequency as long as you are sure it is the proper oil and an OE filter. Unless it is in a severe service application, 20,000 to 25,000 km intervals work fine. My CBS sometimes called for up to a 28,000 km interval, but I changed it at 20k to 25k (km).

Thanks JCL, question : what if we make 10k kil a year ? ...not sure if oil changed interval should also consider time duration between service.. What do u think ?
