With most synthetics, 5k would be optimum (sp) but i've seen people go as far as 6k between oil changes on full synthetic...

just my .02
The staggered interval oil change is reserved for people just had their motor rebuilt.

Also, don't use syth on cars beyond +75k if it never had syth oil treatment.

I've run Mobil 1 oil in all my rigs the last 7 years. I also use synthetic oil in my Harley. I still won't go over 3000 miles between changes. My new Evo says to use only Mobil 1.
