If fully synthetic I would do every 12 months with a filter changer.
On another note, I had a 2010 TL until July 13 (3 year lease). Dealer serviced, but surprisingly the oil that was recommended was NOT fully synthetic. My dealer would use semi-synthetic. Opposite issue of you, I put 23,000 a year on the car. Engine service reminder would come on every ~7000 miles or so. Wasn't keeping the car at the end of the lease so I didn't change every 5000 or use fully synthetic. Had no issues with putting close to 70,000 on it in 36 months.
Driving a 2009 9-5 Aero now, and I'm changing the oil every 5000 miles with Mobil 1. I'm giving it another shot as I gave up on Mobil 1 in my tuned 9-3. Tired of draining the oil and watching it flow out of the pan like water. It was totally breaking down on me with a Stage 2 B205. Time will tell on my 9-5 if I have to start using Amsoil or something else.
