I have now logged over 135,000 trouble free miles with my 2000 lpt using the 5,000 mile oil change interval. I have always used full synthetic when changing the oil myself, I know the Dealer used semi-synthetic for the free oil changes I received at 10, 20, and 30,000 miles.
I recently replaced all head bolts as part of the re-torque and was pleased to see everything in the cam galleys were in excellent condition (i.e. no sludge).
So the 5,000 mile interval will present no problem, but I would switch to full synthetic.
