It's NOT the same engine. Beginning in 2003 the 9.3 used the GM-derived engine that's completely unrelated to the B204/B205/etc which has been in use since before your 9k.
Some ways it's better, like having a 6-liter oil sump will certainly contribute towards longer oilchange intervals.
Another way that's not comparable to your 9k is the oil-life monitor. Instead of pegging an approximate interval in miles, it monitors how many times you start the engine, how many times you really stand on the gas pedal, all kinds of stuff that has a tremendous influence on oil life.
