5,000 mile oil change interval should be fine

I know, I know, I babied my '88 9000T way back when with 3,000 mile oil changes on Mobil 1, just like you! The mechanic who used to change my oil (when I was too busy to do it myself) would shake his head, and say, "Man, you're throwing away perfectly good oil!" (SAABs recommendation back then was for *7,500 mile* oil change intervals on non-synthetic oil!)
I think that with a good fully synthetic oil, the optimum oil change interval on this current SAAB is probably a bit longer than 5,000 miles (but probably less than 10,000)--the next few oil analyses will give a better idea. Maybe 6,000 or 7,500 miles?
But 5,000 miles is a nice, easy-to-remember round number, and I'll probably stick with that, even if oil analysis says I can go longer.
