I like to change at 5K intervals because the 10K intervals assume normal driving, the defintion of which is not all that exact. At 5K between changes, the arithmetic is easy to remember, if you start on an even 5K interval, and if you can't get to it for 1K miles, it's no big deal. Most of my driving is start-stop commuting which I consider "severe conditons", so I don't feel like I'm wasting oil.
As a bonus, my oil change cycle, at about 2 times a year, seems to match up with the normal sale dates that Advance Auto Parts has for 5 quarts of Mobil 1 plus a filter. They also will sell you the 6th quart for a discount to make it an even case. Where I live, it is about $41 for six quarts and a filter. The sale is on now, by the way.
