Even with modern synthetics, the going interval for changes still seems to be 5k-7k per change; my manufacturer recommended 10k mile oil change intervals. Probably different for most cars, but i'd stick with 5-7k between changes. When i did oil analysis on my GTI for the first 5-6 years (i'm the only owner) i found that after the 7.5k mark the oil/detergents started to degrade. I've been doing 5k changes with dealer oem synthetic (oddly cheaper than auto parts stores) since about 100k though; no complaints.
