Based on this, and the article I posted above, I do oil changes every 5-6k with a PREMIUM filter that is rated for this kind of use in independent tests (see article at www.bobistheoilguy.com ).
You may want to do the same thing I did, however there are a few of us now doing 5k change intervals with Mobil1. Just remember to keep an eye on oil consumption, and top off if needed.

i have run Mobil 1 fully syn(5/30) and a premium filter(Baldwin) for 140,000 miles.
i change it between 8K and 10K (10K if a lot of highway miles 75% / 25% are driven).
i use about 1/2 qt. of oil between each oil change.
i sent my old oil to(10k on the oil)

and it was still good to go, but at 10k i said what the hell and put fresh oil in.
