You misunderstood me. I normally change every 10k miles.
I think the frequency of oil changes should be mostly a function of driving mode and environmental conditions. For example, people in Moscow should probably change oil every 3-5k miles, due to horrendous traffic jams, very cold winters (like -40'C), very dusty and hot summers and very poor fuel quality. For me, gentle highway driving (American style, snail-like 70-80 mph most of the time), rare short trips, very temperate climate, very low dust, etc... Every 10k miles may be too often :)
