I change about every 1000 miles. Can't see any change on the dipstick at that interval. I fill it to the full mark. Doesn't really leak though, just enough to get oily on the bottom, not enough to drip. I wouldn't get excited if yours goes through a qt at 200 miles, just watch the dipstick and don't let it run low. As long as the plugs aren't fouling or you're not leaving a trail, it won't hurt anything.
