never had engine troubles, on any of 5 different cars over 25 years. Now I run synthetic and go to about 7500 or 8K with few qualms. There was a write-up I read on syn oil going to way over 10K and it was regularly sampled. It really didn't break down much until around 18K miles.
BUT it does depend, IMHO, on how the car is driven. If you do a lot of stop and go you might want to replace oil more often; and lots of short trips is not good on any oil.
