People say you can go 5000 on synthetic. I dont because I am turboed and incredibly paranoid about engine failure. I just use your typical oil filter.

I just got mine changed at the dealership, it said they put in a Mobil-1 oil filter, but it was probably just a stock one. I went 3500 miles on my first synthetic change at 15k miles. i had them take a sample and i sent it off the blackstone labs yesterday. I'll have the results in a couple weeks or so.

Mobil 1 for me every 5k miles. I drive about 100 miles a day on the highway to work and back. I would probably change it every 3k if my milage was all stop and go intown driving.
