Should I change my chain

I have a dura-ace 10 spd chain with probably 6000 miles on it. From what I've heard that is a LOT of mileage for a DA10. But I check it with a park cc-3 chain checker and it measures fine. I swap out an old and a new cassette without a problem fairly often. Should I change it or just keep on measuring until it shows enough stretch? Most folks I know get much less mileage out of a DA10 chain.

That's what I was figuring. If it was worn I wouldn't be able to swap out cassettes like I do. And I had no problem when I switched cranks a couple of thousand miles back. I'll try an accurate ruler. I do clean and lube every 100 miles or so. I guess it pays off. I've just heard many people say the DA10 chains don't last.
