I've gone from 3K to 4K to 5K now, which puts me at about 3 oil changes a year. I never drive it less than 5 miles and it gets a fair amount of long trips in. I am in no way concerned that this is too long an interval. Most research I have seen on oil life backs me up. No need to throw away perfectly good oil to meet some arbitrary, outdated standard.
