Oil life depends on what kind of driving you do...many long hot runs and you can go to maybe 7500 miles. Lots of short runs and stop start traffic....3000 miles IMHO. Synthetic oil is wonderful stuff...but on old engines it finds leaks everywhere. These days I prefer regular 10;30 Castrol and change it out frequently. It's a very good oil and not expensive. Oil filters I change every time...I'm not impressed by long life filters....as they fill up with crap, they get less good at filtering and they ARE expensive. Oil fills up with acids and other corrosive compounds....I had a buddy ran synthetic oil regularly to 10K....always looked like crap when he changed it...and my motor went to 287K before a voluntary rebuild.....his.....ummm....didn't!
