there's lots of ideas and opinions on this subject. I can share a few thoughts too...
On non-turbo engines I have gone 10k on syn-oil, spinning ona new filter at 5k and topping off.
On turbo engines (9KCSE, Aero, 900SET) I use semi-syn and change oil & filter every 5k.
My new Mustang GT calls for syn oil, and I use Mobil 1, change oil & filter every 5k.
I know a guy who has a small fleet of over the road trucks (as in Peterbilts & Kenworths)who runs Mobil 1 and he never changes the oil! Just changes the filters every 10k. Have any idea what one of those engines costs?! 500k miles is nothing between overhauls, not unusual to see 1,000,000 miles before a major overhaul.
So in my opinion, do what makes YOU comfortable regarding oil and change frequency. After all YOU are the one paying the bills!!!
